This work responds to what was reported in various audio-visual media channels and to queries and explanations from individuals and local residents on the causes of gaseous and thermal emissions from the Earth near the vicinity of the village of Al-Hindaw in Dakhla city, New Valley Governorate, Egypt. At the location of the fume exit area, magnetic, seismic, and electromagnetic geophysical investigations were carried out to identify the factor(s) responsible for the event in question. Rock samples were collected and studied geochemically and radiographically to assess their chemical compositions, as well as the quantity of organic chemicals that may have contributed to the burning and temperature increase. In light of the results of the geochemical and geophysical research, it is believed that the self-ignitions are the result of near-surface reactions and oxidation instead of volcanic activity, such as the presence of magma or other comparable phenomena.
这项工作是对各种视听媒体渠道所报道内容的回应,也是对个人和当地居民就埃及新河谷省达赫拉市Al-Hindaw村附近地球气体和热排放原因提出的疑问及解释的回应。在烟雾排放区域进行了磁、地震和电磁地球物理调查,以确定造成该事件的因素。采集了岩石样本并进行了地球化学和射线照相研究,以评估其化学成分以及可能导致燃烧和温度升高的有机化学物质的数量。根据地球化学和地球物理研究结果,人们认为自燃是近地表反应和氧化的结果,而非火山活动,如岩浆的存在或其他类似现象。
