What types of bedrock are dissolved most easily by running water?
Limestone and Marble Limestone and Marble
Which rocks can be dissolved with weak acid?
Limestone
What type of rock is dissolved by slightly acidic groundwater?
limestone
When limestone on the surface is dissolved by ground water it forms?
caverns
How does tufa form?
It's simply open-air precipitated calcium carbonate that had been dissolved by the depositing stream water in its flow underground in limestone.
What is chemical limestone made of?
Chemical limestone can form when calcite is dissolved.
How do grikes form?
Grikes form when limestone is dissolved by water.
What process creates cave?
Caves form when acidic rain dissolved limestone.
What are limestone pillars?
The hard and huge mountains are known as lime stone pillars.
What dissolved the limestone to form the caves?
The forests that grows over the limestone forms mulch that produces the acid required. That's true but the prime solvent is Carbonic Acid: atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolved into rain-water.
Where do the dissolved material of caves go?
Caves are usually some form of limestone. The stone is VERY slowly dissolved by water, and the dissolved material leaves with the draining water. Typically this takes millions of years.
What types of bedrock are dissolved most easily by running water?
Limestone and Marble Limestone and Marble
How do stalagmites form in limestone caves?
no one noes Yes they do. Precipitation and crystallisation of calcium carbonate dissolved from the limestone by water leaching through the joints, bedding-planes or faults in the rock.
Which rocks can be dissolved with weak acid?
Limestone
One rock that is dissolved by acid?
limestone
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."
In geography what are stalagmites?
In areas where the rocks are made of limestone, water will dissolve the limestone and form underground caves. In these caves water containing dissolved limestone will drip from the roof. As the drips form some of the water evaporates and limestone is deposited out of solution. Thus, from where the drips are occurring and on the floor below, pilers start to form, the pilers on the floor are called 'stalagmites' and the pilers hanging from the roof are called 'stalactites'.
