What is percolation in a water cycle?
when water percolates through small soil particles it travels downwards till it is held by large particles of soil or it reaches the ground water table. sometimes collection of large soil particles also holds the water from further travel
What happens to limestone during the cement mixing process?
the limestone gets crush into tiny particle and joins the othe marterials
How does ground water cause erosion?
1 Running water on the surface of the earth erodes the land. Groundwater also can cause erosion under the surface. As water flows through the soil, acid is formed. This acid can cause minerals to be dissolved.2 Minerals that are carried in groundwater can also be deposited in other places. This cycle of erosion and deposition can cause underground caves to form. This happens especially in areas where there is limestone below the surface.3 A cave is an underground opening. It has a connection to the surface of the earth. A cave is formed by the erosion of limestone under the ground. The acid water moves through the cracks in the limestone and makes them larger.
How does recharge and discharge of groundwater occur?
Groundwater recharge occurs when water from precipitation or surface water infiltrates into the ground through soil and rock formations. Groundwater discharge happens when water flows out of the ground through springs, seeps, or is extracted through wells. These processes are essential for maintaining a balance in the groundwater system.
What happens when sulfuric acid is poured onto limestone?
A reaction occur, calcium sulfate is obtained.
What happens when surface water infiltrate the ground?
When surface water infiltrates the ground, it percolates downward through the soil and rocks, eventually recharging groundwater reservoirs. This infiltration can help maintain water levels in aquifers, provide a source of groundwater for wells, and support vegetation and ecosystems dependent on groundwater for sustenance.
Describe how nitrates are leached from the soil?
Nitrates are leached from the soil when excess water percolates through the soil, carrying the nitrates with it deeper into the ground or into water bodies. This process happens when there is heavy rainfall or over-irrigation, and can lead to groundwater contamination if not managed properly.
What process leads to water entering an aquifer?
Percolation leads to water entering an aquifer.
What happens when weak acids in ground water come into contact with limestone?
Limestone (CaCO3) in the presence of acid converts into carbon dioxide and ions of cacium. The chemical formulae are: CaCO3(s) + H3O+(aq) = Ca2+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) HCO3-+ H3O+(aq) = CO2(aq) + 2 H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + CO32-(aq) = HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l)
What happens to the groundwater?
it gose through the soil and rocks
What happens if you add limestone to acidic lakes?
it stays
What is percolation in a water cycle?

What happens to the limestone of the Yucatan Peninsula when it rains?
When it rains, the limestone of the Yucatan Peninsula gets broken down into sand.
What happens to a lakes PH when there is limestone rock in the lake?
The pH level will go up because of the acid in the limestone bedrock.
What happens to limestone during the cement mixing process?
the limestone gets crush into tiny particle and joins the othe marterials
When limestone clay is heated what happens?
makes ceramic or porcelaine
What happens to the most of the precipitation that falls to Earth's surface?
Seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater.
