Where is limestone extracted?
The lateral cutting is usually done by running a wire around an exposed block, and the wire is driven like an endless belt. An abrasive and water provide the cutting action and cooling.The vertical cutting may be done by drilling a series of holes, then splitting it hydraulically or mechanically.After quarrying into large blocks, the final cutting can be done with huge diamond tipped cutting wheels, or gang- sawed into slices with similar wire, water and abrasives. The bulk of limestone is mined for cement production, gravel, and soil conditioner. In these cases, surface mines blast free the stone to make it more manageable to move and transport to a crusher. Crushed material is stored on the ground and loaded as necessary to trucks for distribution to customers.Limestone is the skeleton remains of minute shelled sea creatures that died a very long time ago. They sank to form thick beds on the sea floor. The thick beds were put under tremendous pressure, and eventually turned into solid limestone. We quarry limestone to make cement, building blocks, gravel for road building, and many more uses.
How does atmospheric pressure effect molecules?
Pressure is what makes the gas molecules to occupy less volume. Without any atmospheric pressure, which is quite huge (101.3 KPa), the molecular separation of the air molecules would be very huge. This is testified by Boyle's Law PV=constant. If P is very small, inversely, V would be very huge. Therefore, a small mass of air would occupy a huge volume.
How is iron ore converted into iron?
you can smelt it. You put it in a blast furnace with carbon. This will be able to separate the iron from the iron ore The carbon is in the form of coke, providing both fuel for the huge amount of heat at the high temperature needed, and the carbon necessary to separate chemically the iron from the iron-oxide which is the ore itself. Limestone is added as a flux to help remove silica and other impurities as molten "slag" that floats on the molten iron, and is tapped off separately. The "blast" part refers to the powerful blasts of air pre-heated by the furnace's flue gases, and blown into the fire to raise it to white heat.
What holds huge amounts of energy?
Nuclear reactions, such as those that occur in the sun, can hold huge amounts of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy as dictated by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. This process is responsible for powering stars and can produce an immense amount of energy.
What holds a huge amount of energy?
Nuclear fusion reactions hold a huge amount of energy. When light atomic nuclei merge to form heavier ones, they release a significant amount of energy. This process powers the sun and some experimental fusion reactors here on Earth.
