A depression in the ground due to cave collapse or acidic water dissolution of limestone is called a?
A sinkhole is the term used to describe a depression in the ground caused by a cave collapse. It can also be the result of acidic water dissolving limestone.
Solid limestone may change into a cave when?
It doesn't! :-)) Caves represent a loss of rock, not a change, by dissolution of the limestone by weakly acid ground-water.
What kind of limestone might be deposited in Mammouth Caves?
CALCITE - cryastaline calcium carbonate precipitated from the ground-water that had dissolved it from the limestone above the cave. Calcium Carbonate is the primary constituent of limestone.
There are underground caverns in the Yucatán Peninsula because?
water seeps through the ground and dissolves the limestone bedrock.
How does ground water cause erosion?
1 Running water on the surface of the earth erodes the land. Groundwater also can cause erosion under the surface. As water flows through the soil, acid is formed. This acid can cause minerals to be dissolved.2 Minerals that are carried in groundwater can also be deposited in other places. This cycle of erosion and deposition can cause underground caves to form. This happens especially in areas where there is limestone below the surface.3 A cave is an underground opening. It has a connection to the surface of the earth. A cave is formed by the erosion of limestone under the ground. The acid water moves through the cracks in the limestone and makes them larger.
Is it true that exfoliation is the effect that ground water has on limestone?
yes
When limestone on the surface is dissolved by ground water it forms?
caverns

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."

What forms when weak acids in ground water come in contact with limestone?
caves
What forms when underground layers of limestone are dissolved by ground water?
yes i guss
Can limestone be found in caves?
It's found around them! The vast majority of the world's caves are formed in limestone (soluble in ground-water).
What is formed when carbon acid in ground water seeps through limestone?
i dint know.

What is the most effective filter for ground water?
