Moving is hard for anyone, especially if you’ve lived most of your life in one certain place. I dreaded the words coming out of my mother’s mouth. I didn't know what lie ahead. On the other hand, it turns out we're moving to buy a house, this is the first time we ever bought a house we usually just rent them. I was familiar with the house my Uncle Jimmy used to live there. I was just reluctant to leave all that I knew behind and start all over. I know that I was only eleven years old at the time
to the amount of disposal organic material that was compressed and formed 7.15 Dissolution of limestone is facilitated by a humid climate. What are the two things associated with humid climates that promote the dissolution of limestone? Hint: These two things, both of which can be easily observed from a car window, are illustrated in Figure 7.19. H2o co2 and h2co3 help in the dissolution of limestone and which produces bi carbonate which helps in the forming of caves and landscapes. 7.18 How
situated near Park City in south central Kentucky. It lies in forested and hilly areas of three counties; Hart, Edmonson, and Barren. It occupies about 50,000 acres. A landscape that is mainly covered by the solution features such as sinking streams, large springs, sinking holes, and caves is referred to as karst. For instance, as shown in figure 1. The caves are characterized by several limestone
international term, which is synonymous with “sinkhole,” but because it is widely known and used in America, the term “sinkhole” will be retained during this study. In this paper, the term “sinkhole” refers to a depression caused by the solution of limestone. In brief, sinkholes form when the land surface above collapses into subsurface voids. According to Younger (2007), “Natural subsidence is a widespread consequence of the collapse of subsurface voids, which in turn owe their existence to the erosive
Rock Composition The most common chemical sedimentary rock is limestone. Composed mostly of the mineral calcite (CaCO3), limestones are formed by biochemical processes in shallow seawater (Jahnert, 2012). Coral and algae are especially important limestone builders. Coquina is a form of biochemical limestone. It is an allochemical rock, meaning it is made up of mostly broken down shells, skeletal remains, and gravel (sand). Most coquinas

little known about these giant megaliths due to inconsistencies in the documentation, or a lack of documentation altogether. It has been understood for many years that the pyramids were built as tombs for great pharaohs, but how were such large limestone structures built by pure man-power with pinpoint accuracy? Is there a greater meaning behind the locations of these massive formations? We have been taught from a young age that the pyramids were built as tombs for great pharaohs. The sun god Ra
AMD Remediation at Shoup’s Run Watershed Alanna O’Neil Introduction: The main pollutant of surface water in the mid-Atlantic region is Acid Mine Drainage, AMD, also called Abandoned Mine Drainage. AMD is a nonpoint source pollution that has degraded more than 4,500 stream miles, in just the mid-Atlantic region, due to the drainage of metal-rich water from mining activities (Jacobs). The runoff is extremely acidic due to the exposure of pyrite containing rocks, a sulfur bearing mineral (FeS2), during
Kalgoorlie Gold Mine Preamble The Kalgoorlie Mine, also known as the Super Pit due to its distinctive depth of 600m ( Figure 1.), is a mine situated in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia that primarily extracts gold. Often considered to be the largest open-cut mine in the nation, Kalgoorlie produces a tremendous 22 000 kilograms of gold each year. The gold rush that struck Australia during 1851-1914 was primarily a result of the discovery of many mining sites like the Kalgoorlie gold mine. The finding
Sam Wylie Karly Kindoll Winter Dean CHE 111-028 9/25/17 Finding the Composition of Limestone Intro: Limestone is made from loose marine sediment (such as shells) that form into rock, but can also come from dissolved calcium carbonate. When an acid is added to limestone it releases carbon dioxide. This happens in a two-step process. Step 1: CaCO3(s) 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) H2CO3(aq) Step 2: H2CO3(aq) → CO2(g) H2O(l) The next reaction used is CaCl2(aq) (NH4)2SO4(aq) → CaSO4(s) 2NH4Cl(aq). This is quantifying
