How are Karst landscapes created?

When acidic water dissolves soluble bedrock

When water touches impermeable rock

When diluted water dissolves bedrock

When water moves through clay surfaces

How are stalactite formed

As moisture drips from the roof of the cave and dries the precipitate left behind builds up farming a pointy deposit on the roof of the cave

This is a deposition from the outside that runs down the side of the cave and drips onto the floor of the cave

Precipitate comes up from the floor of the cave and runs up to the roof, when it dries the remains hang from the roof of the cave

As moisture drips from the roof of the cave it drips onto the floor of the cave and builds up over time. Forming a pointed mound on the floor of cave

Stalagmite is formed when

Moisture from the roof of the cave drips to the floor and over time the build up of the precipitate forms a mound on the floor of the cave.

Water drips onto the floor flows around and hardens

Water enters the cave and sprays up and down and freezes on the roof of the cave

Moisture seeps from the floor of the cave leaving a precipitate that builds up and forms a mound on the floor of the cave over time

What is most likely found beneath limestone landscapes?

Caves and underground rivers/streams

When small caves collapse, leaving indentations on the surface

Lines of weathering on the surface

Limestone landscapes have underground features because...

They allow water to move through the rock

They don't allow water to move through the rock

The rock already has lots of holes in it

The rock is eroded by onion skin weathering

During chemical weathering, what can happen to the type of rock that has undergone chemical weathering?

a new rock is produced that is different from the original rock

a new rock is produced that is larger than the original rock

a new rock is produced that is the same as the original rock

no new rock is created - it is just smaller in size

How is mechanical weathering different from chemical weathering?

Chemical weathering changes the chemical composition of rocks; mechanical weathering does not.

Chemical weathering happens over much shorter time frame than mechanical weathering.

Chemical weathering occurs only in tropical climates; mechanical weathering occurs only in cool climates.

Chemical weathering occurs only in the mountains; mechanical weathering occurs only on flat land.

Chemical weathering can occur from ALL of the following EXCEPT

Wind blows sand which wears away cliffs

Acids given off by lichens and mosses eat away at rocks

Sulfuric acid causes blurred words on gravestones and monuments

Rust caused by oxygen combining with iron-bearing minerals in rocks causes red bands on limestone cliffs

Which of the following is the most important agent of chemical weathering to form this cave?

Water - It can carry acid and dissolve rock

Erosion - Moves the rocks from one place to another

Exfoliation - New cracks give chemical reactions the chance to operate

Select the answer that shows the order of events a rock goes through.

erosion, weathering, deposition
