What kind of rock is located near caves?
It depends on the cave. Since many caves are limestone (water carves it nicely), you usually find limestone. But granite is common in New Hampshire & Vermont.
What was the original rock that formed marble metamorphic rock?
Limestone.
What type of setting formed will you find a deposit of organic limestone?
the ocean
Was Puerto Rico formed by a volcano?
Puerto Rico was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions. Much of the island of Puerto Rico is covered by limestone.
What sedimentary rock formed from the shells of sea creatures?
The rock would be limestone, the mineral would be calcite.
What are limestone caves made out of?
Air! They are voids IN limestone formed by dissolution by water.
How can a limestone cave be formed?
From dissolution and erosion of limestone by acidic water over time.
What is the definition of Dissolution per USP?
According to the USP (United States Pharmacopeia), dissolution is defined as the process by which a solid substance enters into a solvent to yield a solution. It is a critical test for assessing the rate and extent of drug release from a solid dosage form.
What are formed when limestone found in the Earth has been eaten away?
Caves and sinkholes are formed when limestone is dissolved by underground water, creating underground spaces. Karst topography, characterized by these features, is a landscape formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone.
How caves were formed?
They - or it? - are normal karst caves, formed in limestone by its dissolution by water. I believe they still carry a stream: if so they are still forming.
How was the lascaux cave formed?
In similar ways to any cave in limestone: dissolution and other karst-landscape processes.
How is limestone cave in Aruba formed?
Same way as any limestone cave: dissolution of the rock by weakly acidic water flwoing through fractures and other discontinuities.
How is limestone pavement formed?
Limestone pavement is formed through a combination of weathering and erosion processes acting on the surface of limestone rock. This typically involves the dissolution of calcium carbonate in the limestone by rainwater, which creates fissures and cracks on the surface. Over time, these fissures widen and deepen, resulting in the characteristic large, flat slabs of rock separated by deep grooves that are typical of limestone pavement landscapes.
How are limestone scars formed?
Limestone scars are formed through the process of chemical weathering, where rainfall reacts with the calcium carbonate in the limestone, gradually dissolving and eroding it over time. This process creates distinctive features such as caves, sinkholes, and rocky outcrops. Over long periods, the continual erosion and dissolution of the limestone by water can lead to the creation of scars and cliffs.
How is concrete formed from limestone?
concrete is formed from limestone by the combustion of the limestone (heating of the limestone)!
How was waitomo caves made?
From god. +++ The question is "how", not "by whom"! They are still active, carrying a stream, so are still-developing karst caves in limestone, i.e. formed by dissolution of their host limestone by weakly-acidic water.
How were the Sonora caves formed?
The Sonora Caves in Mexico were formed through a combination of tectonic activity, erosion, and chemical dissolution of the limestone bedrock over millions of years. Groundwater seeped into the limestone, creating passages and chambers that eventually developed into the intricate cave system we see today.
