settlement. Natural vegetation‚ including deep-rooted trees‚ ensured that salts were dissolved as rainwater slowly filtered down through the soil.

organic sedimentary rock made of calcium carbonate. A lime stone pavement is a large flat area of bare limestone from which soil cover has been removed over a long a period of time the acidic rainwater passes through soil it picks up humic acid from the rotting vegetation in the soil and becomes more acidicis. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide as it passes through the atmosphere. As it passes through soil‚ the water picks up more carbon dioxide from organic debris. The water and carbon dioxide combine to
