What else can I help you with?
What are two features you would expect to find in a region with karst topography?
In a region with karst topography, you would typically find features such as sinkholes, which are depressions or holes formed when underlying limestone dissolves and collapses. Additionally, you might encounter limestone caves, created by the erosion of soluble rock by water, leading to intricate underground systems. These features result from the chemical weathering process that characterizes karst landscapes.
Where can you find caves?
I assume you mean caves well decorated with stalagmites etc. They are in most limestone caving areas but if you want to visit them either take up caving properly - for both your safety and to learn to protect the caves you visit - or visit show-caves.
Is limestone found in Ohio?
Yes, limestone is found in Ohio. It is a common sedimentary rock in the state and can be found in various formations throughout Ohio.
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.
Which is harder limestone or clay?
Limestone would be potentially harder until the clay is fired. The problem we have here is that "clay" is an ambiguous term. There is no homogenous or standard formula for clay. However, clays can generally be formed and baked to become set and hard. This is called firing. Fired clay tends to be quite hard, and depending on the formula, might be harder than limestone.
What kind of limestone might be deposited in Mammoth caves?
Calcite rather than limestone - the crystalline version of calcium carbonate which is limestone's primary constituent. However it is only being deposited in speleothems (stalactites and stalagmites). . Elsewhere in the cave, limestone is being removed, not deposited, by any stream(s) still flowing in the the system. . The limestone which holds the cave was deposited then uplifted into the highlands whose eroded forms you see now, long before the cave started to develop.
What is stulactite?
Stalactites are found in limestone caves. They are the limestone formations hanging from the roof. Limestone is calcium carbonate salts. Stalagmites are the formations growing up to the roof. (One way to remember: Stalactites have to hold on tight or they will fall and stalagmites might reach the roof one day.)
What is the nearest cave to Buckingham?
The nearest cave to Buckingham is likely the Caves of Cheddar Gorge, located in Somerset, approximately 90 miles away. Cheddar Gorge features a series of limestone caves, known for their stunning formations and rich history. While not immediately adjacent to Buckingham, it is one of the more notable cave systems in the region. For smaller caves, you might also consider the nearby limestone areas around the Chiltern Hills.
Do deer live in caves?
Not normally. They might shelter in the entrance - and this assumes there are any caves in the deer's area anyway!
Why might limestone not be able to survive a fire?
the heat from a fire actually morphs the limestone into a different kind of rock
Would high pH water weather limestone?
From what I know, limestone is alkali, and high pH water would not weather alkali things. For the case of limestone, it might even make the limestone bigger (think so).

How can caving damage the limestone?
It might damage it by the erosion people walking over the limestone wearing it to nothing and over the years it will just be like holes
Do Cheetahs live in caves?
They might shelter in cave entrances - if there are any caves in cheetah country, of course! They are not cave-dwelling animals as such.
Are there caves in North Carolina?
Yes. The most popular caves are the Linville Caverns and the Bat Caves.There are many other "wild" caves on private and government land that are generally closed to the public. You might be able to gain access to those caves by joining the Flittermouse Grotto (local to western NC).
What evidence is there that the limestone might have reacted with the rainwater?
Im actually asking the same question tell ne?
