Why is limestone such an important resource?

Limestone has too many uses to list here, We will list some. It is used in making Portland cement to make concrete. It is used in making steel and glass, toothpaste, plastics, paint, tiles and even bread and cereals. Limestone is used as a food additive for livestock and especially poultry. Limestone is widely available and durable and so is used as aggregate in road construction and as blocks in buildings. I have used ground limestone as an antacid. When the early Earth's atmosphere formed it was mostly Carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide was dissolved in the seas and converted to limestone. Because of this Limestone is one of the most widespread rocks on the surface of the planet. Were it not for this our planet would have an atmosphere much like Venus and it would be far too hot for life. Limestone. Cool stuff.

How much limestone would you get in an average quarry?

This past week I visited a limestone quarry that has been mining limestone in one place for 40 years. In that time, they will have mined millions of tons of limestone. Usually nearly ALL the rock is limestone, so the answer will depend on the size (area) of the quarry, how deep you can mine, and presence of any "trash" rock.


What would happen to a river ecosystem that ran out of oxygen but had plenty of carbon dioxide in the water?

not much (actually, pretty much nothing) would be able to survive because the amount of oxygen and dissolved oxygen in a river or stream can greatly affect what can and can't survive in it. not much would be able to live if all they had to live off of and take in to their systems was carbon dioxide.

Why does rainwater have an effect on limestone?

Under the category of weather, limestone would be most affected by rain. Rain contains carbonic acid which reacts chemically with the calcium carbonate in limestones. Just try putting a drop of vinegar on a piece of limestone and see what happens. Carbonic acid in rainwater is not nearly this concentrated, though, and the effects take much longer to be noticeable. Tropical climates also produce large amounts of vegetation whose plant roots help break limestone apart, creating more surface area for rainwater to attack. Limestone would be least affected in arid climates, where most erosion is in the form of wind particle abrasion.
