What forms when limestone bedrock dissolves under many layers of soil?
When limestone bedrock dissolves under layers of soil, it can lead to the formation of karst landscapes, which include features such as sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems. This process occurs due to chemical weathering, primarily involving the reaction between carbonic acid in rainwater and calcium carbonate in limestone. As the limestone dissolves, it creates voids and cavities that can eventually collapse, reshaping the surface landscape. Additionally, the dissolved minerals can contribute to groundwater systems and mineral deposits.
Which countries do you find limestone?
you find limestone in Bottswana, Guinesy, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia and the best place Broadesabentland limestone was first found in Newfoundland eg Broadesabentland By Geologist Davidenko Broadyalobentla from Italy in 1890.
Are limestone deposits are evidence of ancient tropical seas?
Many geologists believe that limestone deposits on land exist where ancient seas used to be. The moisture, over many centuries, created limestone.
Are there diagrams of how caves are formed?
There are models that show the development of caves under specific conditions in limestone rocks. Of course there are figures that show the formation and the development of a variety of passageways in caves. You can find all these staff in literature related with karst geomorphology.
How many limestone quarries are in the UK?
Over 100
Limestone regions may have few surface streams because?
Regions overlying limestone bedrock tend to have fewer visible groundwater sources (such as streams & ponds), since surface water easily drains downward through permeable fractures and fissures in the limestone
What type of sedimentary rock made up many caves in the eastern US?
Limestone is the type of sedimentary rock that makes up many caves in the eastern US. These caves form when groundwater dissolves the limestone, creating underground voids and caverns.
What can be mined underground?
Just about any mineral or metal can be mined underground or at the surface. Some typical underground mines may include gold, silver, coal, uranium, limestone, and salt. Many gemstones such as opal, diamond, emerald, ruby and sapphire are found in underground mines.
If many lakes in Florida are sinkholes?
Yes, many lakes in Florida are indeed sinkholes due to the state's unique geology, which includes a limestone bedrock that is prone to erosion. Over time, the dissolution of limestone by acidic water can create underground cavities, leading to collapses that form sinkholes. These sinkholes can fill with water, creating lakes. Florida's high water table and frequent rainfall further contribute to the formation of these features.
Does limestone underlies much of the Yucatan Peninsula?
Yes. That explains why such peninsula is almost flat, with no surface rivers but many underground caves and pits known as "Cenotes".
What is unique about Karst landscaping?
Karst landscapes are characterized by limestone terrain that has been eroded by groundwater, resulting in features like caves, sinkholes, swallow holes, and underground drainage systems. These landscapes are unique in their geomorphological formations and hydrology, with distinctive surface and underground features created by dissolution processes acting on the soluble bedrock. Karst areas also have limited surface water sources as water often flows underground in karst aquifers, leading to challenges in water resource management.
Why are there so many caves in limestone rock?
Limestone is a type of rock that is easily eroded by water, which can create caves over time. Water dissolves the limestone rock to form caves through a process known as chemical weathering. Additionally, limestone can also be carved out by underground rivers or other natural forces, resulting in the formation of caves.
