I should’ve fo und something by then. It might not be ideal... Lecture1 Narrator: Listen to apart oflecturein a geology class Professor: Now there aresomepretty interesting cavesin parts ofthe westernUnitedStates, especialy innational parks. Thereisone part that has over a hundred caves, including someofthe largestonesin the ofthe moreinteresting onesis calledLechuguilla Cave. Lechuguilla hasbeen exploreda lot in ’sa pretty exciting placeI think. It wasmentionedonly briefly inyour books. So can anyone remember whatit said? Ellen? Male student: It’sthe deepest limestonecave in the ? Professor: That’sright. It’sone of thelongestand deepest limestonecaves not justin the country but inthe , whatelse? Male student: 全國免費咨詢電話: 4000123267 Well,it wasformed becauseofsulfuricacid, right? Professor: That’sit. Yeah, whathappens isyou have deepunderground oil depositsand there bacteria. Herelet medraw a diagram. Part ofthe limestonerock layer ispermeatedby water from curly lines are supposedto be cracks inthe rock. Below thewater tableand rock feed on thisoil and releasehydrogen sulfide ishydrogen sulfide,rises up and mixes with oxygen in theunderground water that sitsin the cracks and fissuresin when hydrogen sulfidereactswiththe oxygen in the water,the resultof that issulfuricacid, OK? Sulfuric acid eatsaway at limestone very you get bigger cracks and then passagewayis beingformedalong the openingsin the rock and it isallunderground. Ah yes, Paul? Male student: So that water? itisnot flowing,right? It’sstill? Professor: Yes,so thereare twokinds of limestone about 90percent ofthem, you have waterfrom the surface,streams,waterfall or whatever movingwater that flowsthrough cracks found in limestone. It’s themoving wateritself that wearsaway at the rock and ,in surfacewater,there isa weak acid, carbonic acid, not sulfuricacid but carbonic acid that helpsdissolvethe rock.
