Where does acid in the acid rain come from?
Wet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog, and snow. As this acidic water flows over and through the ground, it affects a variety of plants and animals. The strength of the effects depend on many factors, including how acidic the water is, the chemistry and buffering capacity of the soils involved, and the types of fish, trees, and other living things that rely on the water.
What do you call a substance that flows?
A substance that flows is called "liquid".
Why does water purification happen?
Water gets purified because water has a tendency to pick up things like minerals and germs and dirt as it flows along a city street or underground. That way, people don't get sick because they drank dirty water.
What is a measure of how easily a liquid flows?
Viscosity
What does not have a shape but flows like oxygen?
gas
What happen when water flows through rock?
•Influences pH + redox • •Limestone makes it more basic. • •Sulfur- oxidation yields H2SO4
How is a cavern made?
Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass.
How do solution caves form?
Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass.
How was caves made?
"... were made" !Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass.
Is limestone a intrusive igneous rock?
No. Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed when calcium carbonate precipitates from the ocean.
How can ground water cause caves and sinkholes?
Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass.
What is groundwater that forms caves like?
Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) forms caves by dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass.
What is Water that doesn't soak into the ground or evaporate but flows across the ground but flows across earth surface is called?
Runoff
How do most caverns form?
They are in limestone. Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass. Gypsum is similarly soluble and can form caves in the right circumstances. So is dolomite but the structural nature of dolomite deposits prevents cavern development.
Which river flows across north of Germany?

What that flows across earth surface?

Why would it be more likely to find a cave with limestone bedrock than granite?
Limestone forms in such a way that there are often blocks, as there are cracks perpendicular to the strata. These cracks allow water to actually flow. When the water flows, it dissolves calcite from the limestone, making the crack more pronounced. Water can flow vertically and horizontally in this way. This, after many years, erodes large caverns in the rock.
