A cavern is formed when groundwater mixes with gases and minerals to form a solution that dissolves rock. A fumarole is cracks in the ground that allow steam and hot gas to escape.

What do oxygen and carbon make?

when carbon oxidizes (mixes with oxygen) it forms carbon dioxide


What forms when water mixes with carbon dioxide gas in the air soil?

When water mixes with carbon dioxide gas in the soil, it forms carbonic acid. This weak acid can break down minerals in the soil, leading to the weathering of rocks and contributing to soil fertility.


Name of acid formed when sulfur oxides mixes with rainwater?

I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.


Where do the human lungs get the carbon dioxide to replace oxygen?

Taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide is called breathing. Breathing is only a part of the process Respiration. In respiration, th lungs take in oxygen, which mixes with blood and is then circulated to each and every cell of the body. After this, in a cell, the oxygen is utilised for oxidation of food materials to generate energy for various metabolic processes. This process liberates carbon dioxide since it is a chemical reaction involving many steps. This carbon dioxide is then carried from each cell by the blood to reach the lungs where it is expelled out.


What proof does the U.S. have that carbon dioxide levels have increased in the last 50 years?

We can measure the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Because carbon dioxide mixes well the measurement is about the same all over the world. Recently we have just reached 400 ppm (parts per million) or 0.04%.

What does groundwater mixes to form carbonic acid?

Groundwater mixes with carbon dioxide in the soil and atmosphere to form carbonic acid through a chemical reaction. This process is a natural occurrence that can lead to the dissolution of minerals in rocks and the formation of underground caves and sinkholes over time.


What happens when carbon dioxide mixes with water and what does this interaction cause"?

When carbon dioxide mixes with water, it forms carbonic acid. This interaction causes the water to become slightly acidic, which can impact the pH level of the water and potentially harm aquatic life.


What global impacts do bushfires have?

Bushfires release a lot of carbon dioxide that was stored in the trees and vegetation. Carbon dioxide mixes well with the air and the winds move it round the globe.


What is the current carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere of Bangladesh?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that mixes very easily, so there are no regional variations. So the carbon dioxide level in Bangladesh is the same as it is all round the world.The carbon dioxide levels for 2012 are 392 ppm (parts per million).


How does carbon dioxide mix with powdered baking soda in a fire extinguisher?

It doesn't. The soda solution mixes with the acid and the chemical reaction FORMS carbon dioxide gas, which pressurizes the extinguisher.
