What is the nature of cometary volcanoes?
September 19, 2020 | Education
| Peculiar active volcanoes have been discovered on Halley’s comet. Under the influence of solar heating, volatile substances are sublimated, and then, in the presence of oxygen, they are ignited. Combustion spreads under the surface of the core. In this case, an intensive outflow of gas and dust occurs at a speed of about 1 km / s.
