What causes icicles to form in a cavern?
Caverns that form in limestone areas, due to rain water dissolving the limestone over millions of years, produce stalactites and stalagmites. Stalactites are icicle-like rock formations of deposited limestone hanging down from the cavern's roof. Stalagmites grow upwards from the cavern floor, due to the limestone solution dripping on the floor from the roof. In some cases, the stalactite and stalagmite joins in the middle to form a column.
What hormone does the testes produce?
The testes produce the hormone testosterone.Testosterone
What occurs in a lime kiln?
A lime kiln is a kiln used to produce quicklime by the calcination of limestone (calcium carbonate). The chemical equation for this reaction is:CaCO3 + heat → CaO + CO2 This reaction takes place at 900°C (at which temperature the partial pressure of CO2 is 1 atmosphere), but a temperature around 1000°C (at which temperature the partial pressure of CO2 is 3.8 atmospheres) is usually used to make the reaction proceed quickly. Excessive temperature is avoided because it produces unreactive, "dead-burned" lime.
Can pair production produce in vacuum?
pair production can not produce in vaccum
How does the paramecium produce waste?
it does not produce waist. it is only a living cell.
What landforms do wind erosion and deposition form in deserts?
In deserts Abrasion and Deflation produce a number of distinctive landforms which include ventifcats, yadangs and zeugen. You can search for these 3 types of landforms which are created due to wind erosion.
What do both weathering and erosion produce?
New rocks, landforms and structures. The first from the sediments from the weathered rocks. Also solutions of minerals such as calcium carbonate, from limestone.
What does percolation produce?
Percolation produces groundwater.
Is the moon made of the same three kinds of rock as the earth?
No. Since the moon is not geologically active it cannot produce metamorphic rock and since it has no forces of erosion and deposition it cannot produce sedimentary rock. As a result, all the rocks on the moon are igneous
An erosion by the movement of a n can produce a you-shaped valley.?
an erosion by the movement of an can produce a you- shaped valley
What happens when you add an acid limestone?
Limestone is mainly composed of calcium carbonate. It will react with acids to produce carbon dioxide, a salt and water, and the limestone will slowly dissolve away - an experiment easily performed by pouring vinegar on a piece of limestone. In the outdoors: Acid rain (from industrial pollution mixing with falling rain) cause limestone to dissolve, increasing the natural effect of rain water erosion of rock - forming potholes, caverns - and clints and grykes (fissures) on 'limestone pavements'.
How long can a limestone quarry produce limestone?
This depends on the size of the limestone deposit, the rate of extraction and the economic viability of the deposit.
How does changing the slope of the stream table produce different results?
Changing the slope of the stream table affects the speed and direction of water flow. A steeper slope creates faster water flow, which can result in more erosion and deposition. Conversely, a flatter slope slows down water flow, leading to less erosion and deposition. These changes in flow dynamics can cause differences in the shape and size of channels, as well as the amount and distribution of sediment carried by the water.
Regional metamorphism of limestone produce?
Marble
What does heat limestone with clay produce?
cements
Which of the following statements describes the relationship between groundwater and caves?
Groundwater flowing through certain types of rocks can produce caves
What form of erosion can produce a smooth polished surface on rock?
Ice erosion can do this as can aeolian erosion (desert varnish).
