The geological origins of radioactive anomalies
Description
Geological origins of high natural radioactivity areas are reviewed. The anomalous high radioactivity of the earth's land surface, geosphere and rocks is discussed. Emphasis is given on two examples of high radioactivity anomalies: the Conway granite of New Hampshire and The St. Sandstone of the north central U.S.A
Abstract (Portuguese)
Faz-se um revisao sobre as origens geologicas de areas de alta radioatividade natural. Discute-se a alta radioatividade da superficie terrestre, geosfera e rochas. Da-se enfase a dois exemplos de alta anomalia radioativa: o granito Conway de New Hampshire e arenito de St. Peters do norte Central dos Estados UnidosAdditional details
