Why are there so many caves in limestone rock?

Limestone is a type of rock that is easily eroded by water, which can create caves over time. Water dissolves the limestone rock to form caves through a process known as chemical weathering. Additionally, limestone can also be carved out by underground rivers or other natural forces, resulting in the formation of caves.


What is the name of the precious rock the maori hunted for?

The first obvious answer would be Pounamu (Jade). There are many types and qualities, just as there were many uses, though this rock is still highly valued today.http://www.teara.govt.nz/EarthSeaAndSky/MineralResources/PounamuJadeOrGreenstone/en


What tools did Victorian chimney sweeps use?

Victorian chimney sweeps would use tools such as brushes, metal scrapers, rods, and sometimes a vacuum to clean chimneys effectively. Brushes were essential for sweeping away soot and debris, while rods helped reach and clean hard-to-access areas. Metal scrapers were used to remove hardened deposits, and the vacuum assisted in collecting loose soot.


Why many caves are found in limestone rock?

Most caves are in limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock laid down in beds and fractured into joints by tectonic processes. These discontinuities allow water to pass, initially extremely slowly, through the rock mass from catchment to spring. Further, and crucially, limestone is slightly soluble in rain-water, so over time the water gradually dissolves out conduits that become cave passages. The whole process is far more complex that that, with many local variables, but the foregoing is the gist of it.
