What is percolation in a water cycle?
when water percolates through small soil particles it travels downwards till it is held by large particles of soil or it reaches the ground water table. sometimes collection of large soil particles also holds the water from further travel
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.
What happens to limestone during the cement mixing process?
the limestone gets crush into tiny particle and joins the othe marterials
What happens when sulfuric acid is poured onto limestone?
A reaction occur, calcium sulfate is obtained.
What is the most abundant gas in out atmosphere?

When it rains, the limestone of the Yucatan Peninsula gets broken down into sand.
What happens to a lakes PH when there is limestone rock in the lake?
The pH level will go up because of the acid in the limestone bedrock.

What happens when limestone is exposed to air for two days?
it dies
What happens to the most of the precipitation that falls to Earth's surface?
Seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater.
What happens when you mix limestone and sulfuric acid can you answer in detail?
You have calcium clorode
Can Erosions happens underground?
Yes, this is what forms sinkholes, and limestone caves.
