Sediments from land sources were carried by water to the sea and were deposited there as mud, now hardened into shale, and sand and gravel, now hardened into sandstone. The limestone was formed from mineral matter in the sea water and from the shells and other parts of animals and plants that lived there. ]]> 2016-10-11 14:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129829722 Mammoth Cave, Kentucky e_b_german1 https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129832850 2016-10-11 14:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129832850 Luray Cavern, Virginia e_b_german1 https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129835330 2016-10-11 14:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129835330 The formation of Luray Cavern e_b_german1 https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129835760  These formations result from a solution of calcium carbonate giving up some of its carbon dioxide, thus allowing a precipitation of lime to form.]]> 2016-10-11 14:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129835760 The Next Step in Chemical Weathering e_b_german1 https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129838591 The rock continues to erode from the acidic water in the caverns.]]> 2016-10-11 15:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129838591 Limestone and the Rock Cycle e_b_german1 https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129840589 Limestone is constantly being eroded by the carbon water that is acidic, and the water dissolves and takes away from the sediment through chemical weathering, as opposed to mechanical weathering, which is through physical forces.]]> 2016-10-11 15:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129840589 Mammoth Cave, Kentucky e_b_german1 https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129844026 A great place to explore and ...... hold hands.]]> 2016-10-11 15:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/e_b_german1/cmclh0tzhhz4/wish/129844026
