Why rainwater has a naturally acidic on limestone buildings?
As rainwater falls to earth, it absorbs pollution (natural and industrial) in the atmosphere which turns the rainwater slightly acidic. Limestone is affected by the acidity, and weathering and erosion is the result. The more pollution, the stronger the acidity, and the more damage is done to buildings and statues made from limestone.
What is sedimentary rock formed by shells?
