Caves and caverns are formed in carbonate rocks by?
The reaction of carbonic acid in rain and groundwater with the carbonate rock.
Why acid rain is formed?
Acid rain is formed because of the pollution in the air.
Caves are formed by erosion from?
Most caves are in limestone, and formed by carbonic acid - rain-water acidified by dissolved carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere - dissolving the rock as it sinks through the joints and other fractures in the rock mass.
What produced the sulfuric acid that helped from the lechugilla caves?
acid rain and the acid that is ionised in the water
What happen when H2SO4 get mixed rain?
When Sulfuric Acid mixes with rain, it creates Acid Rain.
What caused the chemical weathering that created the lechuguilla caves?
Acid Rain
When was there any acid rain near Whangarei?
Near the abbey caves.
Where caves can be found?
Caves can be found all around the world, typically in areas with limestone, granite, or volcanic rock formations. They can be found in various environments, including mountains, deserts, and coastal regions. Some famous cave systems are located in places like Kentucky (USA), Mexico, Malaysia, and France.
How are caverns formed?
Caverns are formed when rain, run-off, or surface water mixes with the topsoil, then Carbon acid and Carbon Dioxide mix with the soil where plants grow, making an acid so powerful that it eats away at the limestone that is underground; making cracks. Over millions of years, this process makes caves, which also concludes that caves are made up of lots of other caves.
Where would you find stalagmites stalagmites?
In caves formed in limestone - as are most of the world's caves although not all such caves contain stalagmites and stalactites. They are precipitations of calcite dissolved from the host limestone by carbonic acid - rain water acidified by atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolved in it.
How were the Florida cavern formed?
The Florida Caverns are limestone caves and were formed by rain water dissolving the limestone.
How bacteria formed caves?
They didn't. Most caves are formed in limestone, by rain-water slightly acidified by abosrbing atmospheric carbon-dioxide slowly dissolving the rock.
