به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe most striking difference with calcite is the lower slope of the rate versus 1 − Ω in the defect-assisted etch pit zone. This could be due to an even lower surface energy in seawater for aragonite than calcite, but we are not yet sure of the effects from site density (n s) or step velocity (ω) to be sure of the
به خواندن ادامه دهیدThis story is over 2 years old. A new method for combatting climate change feels like a bit of modern-day alchemy: scientists have figured out how to take carbon dioxide out of the ocean and turn it into harmless rock.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدLimestone mines use two types of blasting. Small explosive charges set along drilled lines free blocks of stone to be removed for construction. Large charges reduce whole areas of limestone to rubble, which is removed for use as crushed stone. The noise, dust, and impact from explosions can result in noise pollution and dust.
