What is the importance of jointing and bedding planes to the underground structure of caverns?
They act as conduits for the ground-waterso putting into contact with the limestone to initiatedissolution of the limestone. Consequently they also guide passage directions and morphologies. At a much later stage they control the nature of collapses in large voids.

A stone roof is supported by collumns made up of limestone why might this be unsafe after a fire in a building explain the chemical process involved in the weakening of the structure?
Limestone is CaCO3. Let us decompose it:CaCO3 ---> CaO + CO2Heating the limestone will cause the above reaction to take place and replace the relatively firm structure of the limestone rock with a more powdery structure of the CaO. Another example might be this:Mg + (1/2)O2 ---> MgOThe relatively hard structure of the magnesium metal is replaced by a powdery MgO and the MgO structure falls apart into a heap of MgO dust.Source(s):ChemTeam
