∙ 14y agoWhen it rains, the limestone of the Yucatan Peninsula gets broken down into sand.
Because Yucatan is a flat land mostly conformed of limestone, which is a material with high solubility to water. When it rains, among several millenia the water infiltration will excavate underground caverns and sinkholes that are usually known as cenotes.
Acid rains corrode limestone.
When rain falls on limestone, a chemical reaction occurs causing the limestone to dissolve. This process is called carbonation and results in the formation of calcium bicarbonate, which can be washed away over time by the rainwater. As a result, limestone can be weathered and eroded by rainfall.
it rains and sinks into limestone and over to starts to corrode at the vulnerable limestone
Limestone is an alkaline compound and not included in acid rains.
it rains
umm it rains notin special happens
Parts of the Antarctic peninsula are far enough north that it rains there.

Limestone, and rain. Try placing the Limestone outside, and take photographs of it after it rains. This would be a slow process though.
The temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula are warm enough so that sometimes it rains there.
