[Science!] forest Rings and Giant Natural Batteries.


It's a delight to sometimes be reminded of just how weird the world is.  Take Ontario for example, which has forest rings visible only from the air, that appear to be caused by complex electrochemical reactions between methane gas and mineral deposits.  Or, to make things simpler for the laymen, negative charges caused by giant natural electrochemical cells.

It's still a beautiful, strange world world out there folks- let's keep it that way..
