Oh, who'd have thought? Building on a soft, porous rock would be bad in an area surrounded by and inundated with water. Increasing acid rain and a basic, calcium carbonate, sedimentary rock. The Karst topography is real. Yeah. They are gonna care. - ThreadSky

Water plus limestone equals carbonic acid...science, how does it work?

atomicdumpling.bsky.social•86 days ago

No, water (H20) pulls carbon dioxide (CO2) from air dissolving it it to create carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid reacts with limestone (CaCO3) to form calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2).

Here's it in elementary terms from the GSA:

The acidic water seeps into the ground disolving the limestone rock. Creating Karst topography .

Here's how Karst topography is created:

Ocean acidification works using the same chemistry: acidic water dissolves limestone and calcium. This affects both the ocean and coastal zones.

And it's not like NO ONE knew when this stuff was built.
