Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive element which can be produced by the decay of radium (which in turn is part of the decay chain of uranium) present in granitic rocks and shales and also soils derived from these two rock types.
What else can I help you with?
What is a dangerous gas realised by rocks and soil?
Radon.
Which element is a dangerous gas released by rocks and soil?
The radioactive decay of uranium and thorium minerals in igneous rocks such as granite can cause the release of the gas Radon which is dangerous to humans. The breakdown (anaerobic decay) of biological materials in soils and rocks at shallow depths can also produce methane gas which can be explosive or potentially cause asphyxia by displacement of oxygen at high concentrations.
What element is a dangerous gas released by rock and soil?

Which element is not directly released in the atmosphere?
which element is not released in the atmosphere
What element is a poisonous gas and occurs naturally in the soil?
Radon
What is radian gas?
There is no such thing. There is radon gas, which is a radioactive noble gas. It is given off by some rocks and soil.
What gas is produced when radium decays?
The extremely dangerous Radon (my favorite element).
What element is in gas released from soil that can build up on your home?
radon sullfite
Does the geosphere contain gas and water?
The geosphere primarily consists of solid rock and soil, but it can also contain pockets of gas and water within rocks or soil pores. These gases and water can be trapped underground in aquifers, rocks, or within magma chambers.
Which gas is radio active and naturally formed by certain types of rocks?
The gaseous element "radon".
Is radon a chemical or heavy metal?
Radon is a chemical element and is classified as a noble gas on the periodic table. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that is formed naturally from the decay of uranium in soil and rocks.
What element of salt is poisonous?
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl. Chlorine as a gas (Cl2) is dangerous.
