Great post donfelix, I really enjoyed it. I’ve been reading about weathering processes for years, but you can always learn something new from another persons point of view.

Fun Fact:
Stalactite and stalagmite caverns form when carbonates dissolve near the surface and precipitate deeper in the crust, Due to the process of carbonation. CaCO3 is retrograde or inverse soluble, meaning that It deposits out of solution with increased temperature.
