What is formed when limestone is heated?
When heated, limestone forms two different things. It forms both calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This occurs because limestone is made up of calcium carbonate.
What is a metal-rich accumulation of mineral matter that occurs along a fracture or bedding plamne?
Vein deposits
What is required for karst topography to form?
Karst topography is formed by chemical weathering, and affects the underlying carbonate rock (limestone or dolomite). This occurs under specific drainage conditions. Slightly acidic water (carbonic acid in solution) is the active agent.
What best describes how a compound naturally occurs?
The molecular formula
What is the chemical formula of nitrogen in the air?
Elemental nitrogen in the air occurs in diatomic molecules and therefore has the formula N2.
What process hollows out limestone in caves?
The process that hollows out limestone in caves is called chemical weathering. This occurs when rainwater combines with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to create a weak carbonic acid, which gradually dissolves the limestone over time, resulting in the formation of caves and caverns.
How is limestone formed in caves?
Limestone is formed in caves through a process called cave formation or speleogenesis. This occurs when water containing dissolved minerals, like calcium carbonate, seeps through cracks in the rock and evaporates, leaving behind deposits of limestone. Over time, these deposits can accumulate to form intricate cave structures.
What occurs when a molecule combines with oxygn and produces heat?
it combusts
Causes of corrosion?
occurs when iron combines with oxygen in the air
What reaction occurs when sulfuric acid and limestone mix?
it forms calcium sulphate
When acid rain falls on limestone what type of weathering occurs?
Chemical weathering
What is the biological origin source of magnesium carbonate?
It occurs naturally in limestone. - Fiddy
What rock is formed when limestone is metamorphosed?
Marble is formed when limestone is metamorphosed. This process occurs when the mineral calcite in limestone recrystallizes due to heat and pressure, resulting in a denser, harder rock with a crystalline structure.
What is reaction occurs when a substance combstance combines with oxygen and release energy called?
That is combustion.
How and where do most caverns form?
Most caverns form through a process called speleogenesis, which occurs when groundwater dissolves limestone or other soluble rocks over millions of years. These dissolved materials create openings and passages underground, eventually forming caverns. The most common locations for cavern formation are in areas with thick limestone deposits, such as karst regions.
Occurs when weathering concentrates metals into economically valuable deposits?
secondary enrichment
What is calcium farmulae?
Calcium is an element so it does NOT have any formula. But it has a symbol Ca. It is very reactive to be found in nature as free element, so it occurs as compound which contain Ca2+ ions, like CaCO3(limestone) and CaSO4(gypsum).
