     Geogenic emissions are primarily the result of oil or natural gas seeps and soil wind erosion. In addition, lightning may also be a significant contributor to natural NO₂ emissions in an inventory area. Volcanoes and fumaroles (i.e., vapor or gas vents in a volcanic region) can be additional sources of geogenic emissions.
