gas bubble
Floating air pocket
A gas bubble is a pocket of gas enclosed within a liquid or solid material.
In liquids, gas bubbles rise and burst at the surface—the bubbles in boiling water or carbonated drinks.
In solids like glass or metal, trapped gas bubbles are usually defects.
A gas bubble in the IV line can be dangerous.
In geology, gas bubbles in magma create the holes in volcanic rock.
