Is bauxite a substance?
Bauxite is a sedimentary rock that is the main ore of aluminum. Bauxite varies in composition, as does any rock, but the main components are minerals of aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide. Bauxite may also contain amounts of iron, clay, silt and silica. Bauxite is the result of the leaching of minerals from tropical soils leaving a hardened clay-like material that is high in the above minerals, which resist leaching. In addition to being the primary source of aluminum, some bauxite is also used in the manufacture of abrasives.
You recently bought behr paint for a bathroom the color is an ocean blue and you are now noticing that where the towel bar is the water and drips are staining the wall What is going on?
Did you use flat finish instead of semi-gloss? Flat doesn't have as hard of a finish so it lets more of the moisture penetrate. Depending on what was on the wall before, moisture may be penetrating to the plaster or drywall and leaching out minerals that are leaving the stain.
What will happen if Lithosphere of Earth gets sunk in the Hydrosphere or water?
Significant portions of the lithosphere are already "sunk in the hydrosphere". Specifically the oceanic crust. Strictly speaking the hydrosphere includes groundwater so any section of the earth's continental crust where groundwater is present and that is located below the water table could also be described as being "sunk in the hydrosphere". This water, present in pore spaces can have a number of effects, including reducing the effective stress within the rock (which acts to decrease it's strength), cause the leaching or dissolution of various minerals and or the precipitation of minerals.
What is the process by which soluble minerals are dissolved and removed from soil?
