Mini-Literature Review The Ox Mountain range is in County Sligo. ‘’The Ox Mountains lie along Sligo’s border with Co. Mayo’’(Libraries 2010). A strip of ancient rocks - gneiss‚ schist and granite - form the bedrock of the Ox Mountains’’(Geological 2016). The uplands of the Ox Mountains are wild and mainly covered by blanket bog. Some parts of the Ox Mountains are heavily forested. To the north and south of the Ox Mountains is farmland that is mainly underlain by Carboniferous Limestone and Sandstone

treatment of the water (Putz‚ 2003). Calcium is largely responsible for water hardness‚ and may negatively influence toxicity of other compounds. Elements such as copper‚ lead and zinc are much more toxic in soft water. Calcium carbonate has a positive effect on lead water pipes‚ because it forms a protective lead (II) carbonate coating. This prevents lead from dissolving in drinking water‚ and thereby prevents it from entering the human body. Calcium phosphate is a supporting substance and

Reefs? Coral reefs are reefs consisted of coral consolidated into limestone. They are made of thin layers of calcium carbonate. Stony corals‚ or scleractinians‚ are the corals primarily responsible for laying the foundations of‚ and building up‚ reef structures. Immense reef structures are formed when each individual stony coral organism‚ or polyp‚ secretes a skeleton of calcium carbonate. How are corals classified? Corals are classified as animals although they may resemble plants. In scientific

good fit. Builder’s putty also mainly contains chalk as a filler in linseed oil. Chalk may be used for its properties as a base. In agriculture‚ chalk is used for raising pH in soils with high acidity. The most common forms are CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) and CaO (calcium oxide). Small doses of chalk can also be used as an antacid. Additionally‚ the small particles of chalk make it a substance ideal for cleaning and polishing. For example‚ toothpaste commonly contains small amounts of chalk‚ which serves
