Examples of gaseous in a Sentence

1. Mayor Yona Yahav:

   We are alone in this battle, there are a million people around this depot here. It is a gaseous material. It is very, very dangerous material.

2. Robertson Davies:

In the minds of politicians, perhaps more than anywhere, the notion of a million dollars has this accordion-like ability to expand or contract; if they are disposing of it, the million is a pleasing sum, reflecting warmly upon themselves; if somebody else wants it, it becomes a figure of inordinate size, not to be compassed by the rational mind.

3. Michael Grudi?:

And by understanding galaxy formation, we can understand more about what the universe is made of.
