Limestone Facts – Nature’s Work of Art
🔹 How do limestone caves form?
Rainwater passes through organic material, picking up carbon dioxide to create carbonic acid, which dissolves calcite in the limestone—slowly carving out the cave over time.
🔹 How long does it take for a limestone cave to form?
Limestone stalactites grow less than 10 cm every thousand years, with some estimated to be over 190,000 years old!
🔹 What type of rock is limestone?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock, formed by layers of compacted small stones, shells, and organic material in wet environments.
