There are underground caverns in the Yucatán Peninsula because?
water seeps through the ground and dissolves the limestone bedrock.
Why did the limestone have to come by water?
because they were to HEAVY
Water passes quickly through cell membranes because?
The cell membrane has two phospholipids, with hydrophilic (water-loving) heads facing the outside while the hydrophobic tails point in. Water cannot pass through because of this characteristic. The hydrophilic "heads" attract water since they are polar, but the hydrophobic "tails" are non polar and reject water. H20 passes by means of a channel protein.
When an electric current passes through water it causes the water to start to combust?
no, when an eletric current passes through water, it causes the water to start to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen
Why does limewater disslove in rainwater?
Limewater IS dissolved in water. Limestone dissolves in water because the mineral calcite it comprises of is soluble. This is why limestone dissolves in water.
Is the Mammoth Cave made by weathering?
It is made by water erosion as it passes through the limestone..
Why does the the water passes through the filter paper but not the cornstarch?
The water actually passes through the filter paper and the cornstarch. However, the cornstarch does not pass through the filter because the molecules are to large.
How does limestone erode?
Limestone erodes with water. Limestone can also erode through water getting in to the cracks and then freezing. This causes the crack to expand and will begin to erode the limestone.
What gave limestone the name limestone?
Limestone is called limestone because it has lime in it from the sea water it if formed in.
There are underground caverns in the Yucatán Peninsula because?
water seeps through the ground and dissolves the limestone bedrock.
Why doesn't water fall out of a jar when there is a net over it?
because water usually passes right through a net
Why does a fissh out of water has a blur view of what is around it in the air?
because the refraction of light passes through
Is limestone used is buildings?
Yes, because it is impermeable. Meaning water will not pass through it. It is also very strong and durable.

Why is the limestone cave sometimes called the soultion cave?
Limestone caves are sometimes called solution caves because they are formed through a process called solution weathering. This occurs when water containing carbon dioxide dissolves the limestone rock, creating cave systems over time. The dissolved limestone is carried away in the form of a solution, hence the term "solution cave."

no, when an eletric current passes through water, it causes the water to start to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen
