Where do the dissolved material of caves go?
The dissolved materials in caves are carried away by water flowing through the cave system. These materials can be deposited outside the cave as mineral deposits or flushed out into surface water bodies.
Do liquids have acid?
Yes they do. Water especially has acids in it.
What is the pH of water?
The pH of highly purified water is exactly 7.0 by definition. NO: the Ph scale. pH is ALWAYS spelled in exactly this way, and not in some other way that you made up. +++ The third sentence is correct: it is pH, not Ph.
What are some common things with a pH of 1 and how can they affect our health and environment?
Substances with a pH of 1 are highly acidic, such as battery acid and stomach acid. These can be harmful to our health if ingested or come into contact with skin. In the environment, they can contaminate water sources and harm aquatic life.
Why are toilet soups acidic?
Toilet soups are likely acidic due to the presence of urine, which is naturally acidic. When urine mixes with water and other substances in the toilet bowl, it can create an acidic environment. In addition, some cleaning agents used for toilets may also contribute to the acidity.
Is water in caves acidic?
Water in caves can vary in acidity depending on factors such as the rock composition and interactions with organic matter. In some caves, groundwater can become acidic due to the presence of minerals like sulfuric acid from rock weathering processes. However, not all water in caves is necessarily acidic, and some may be neutral or even slightly alkaline.
What dissolves limestone formations in some caves?
Acidic groundwater dissolves limestone formations in caves by chemically reacting with the calcium carbonate in the rock, forming calcium bicarbonate which is soluble in water. Over time, this process creates features such as stalactites and stalagmites.
How are caves useful to people and animals?
Suitable caves have been human habitats in the past, or been used as stores. Active caves are conduits taking water from the hills to their resurgences (springs) so some provide water supplies. Nowaday caves are visitid for recreation, scientific study or as tourist attractions. Biologically they offer shelter or roosts to some animals, and permanent homes to other, highly-specialised creatures.
How lime- stones caves formed?
Limestone caves are formed through a process called chemical weathering. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic, dissolves the limestone rock over time, creating small cracks. These cracks then widen as more water flows through, eventually forming caves. Additionally, some limestone caves are formed through the erosion of underground rivers.
reason why plant can not thrive in highly acidic?
In fact, some plants can thrive in highly acidic soil. Because most plants need a neutral pH soil(6). It's the process of evolution. Like how humans can breathe on land but not in water. Because for a long time most of the soil is neutral pH.
What causes caves to form?
the flow of water +++ More specifically, in limestone as the vast majority of caves are, by the water dissolving the calcium carbonate that is the rock's primary constituent. The water starts as rain-water acidified slightly by absorbing atmospheric CO2, and this acid is what is really responsible.
Is there food and water in caves?
some times some times not if some one was there in the past.
What is inside of a cave?
Inside a cave is, hopefully, air so you can study the cave. But many are filled with water, and most have some liquid since this forms the majority of limestone and other soft rock caves. Lava caves are different but also may be formed by ground water. Inside caves, you may find rock formations: stalactites from the ceiling and stalagmites from the floor, formed over thousands of years by minerals in dripping water. In shallow caves, you may find animals such as bats, bears, snakes, and rodents. Sometimes caves become the home for flocks of birds. ++++ That second paragraph is rather vague. Many cave passages are indeed filled with water, and caves in limestone, rock-salt and gypsum are formed by water dissolving the rock's primary mineral (the rock's chemistry is important, its hardness, less so), but over time caves can lose their formative streams completely. A few limestone caves form by dissolution by highly-acidic, mineral-rich water circulating from below; but these are very unusual. Most use rain and snow-melt water from the land surface. ' Lava caves differ completely: they form in basalt lava flows by molten rock draining from below the solidified surface - nothing to do with ground water.
Why would it be more likely to find a cave with limestone bedrock than granite?
Limestone bedrock is more likely to contain caves because it is easily eroded by acidic water, creating openings and cavities. Granite, on the other hand, is a harder and less soluble rock, making it less prone to forming caves through erosion.
Is there water found in caves?
Oh yes! Most caves in limestone (most caves in fact) are formed by water and very many still hold the streams that are in fact still developing them. Such caves are called "active". Some are completely full of water and explorable only by specialised cave-divers. Caves or cave passages that have lost their formative streams are called "fossil" or "abandoned", but even in these water drips in from the rock's joints through which it percolates.
Why is it recomened to take water with aspirin?
Aspirin is very acidic, and can cause heartburn or upset stomach in some people. Aspirin is also tough for your liver to breakdown, and some people believe that drinking extra water may help your body to metabolize the aspirin, though this is highly unlikely
How Do You Neutralize ocean water?
If it is acidic put some alkili in it but if it is alkili put some acid in it......
