workers working on it at a time. The grand pyramid‚ the largest pyramid in the world‚ took 100‚000 workers 20 years to form the pyramid. Every step of building the pyramid would have been labor intensive. First they had to quarry the limestone using basic copper pickaxes and chisels‚ they would create small tunnels through the material‚ with just enough room for the miners to cut out the up fifteen tons rocks to be made into smaller bricks by the peasants at the pyramid. The workers would

because marble conveys a good visual appearance and has good durability. Though‚ like every material it should be take care of (shining‚ polishing). There is also an alternative option for marble‚ which is travertine. Travertine is also made from limestone‚ sometimes its mistaken for marble because of having similar properties. In terms of cost travertine costs half of what marble costs‚ this is because of not having the same level of visual appearance as marble. Marble is a very important material/rock

Salem has the same elevation as the Springfield which is 1‚ 500. Several areas of hills have been cut into the plateau by rivers along the White River and its tributaries. Salem is often underlined by dolomite or dolostone which is similar to limestone. Limestone dissolves and dolostone doesn’t. Caves are present in the plateau such as the one at Mammoth Spring in Fulton

on lakebeds or under the sea. Successive layers of strata are separated by bedding planes. Sedimentary rocks are generally divided into 2 categories: 1. Organic sedimentary rocks - these are formed from the compacted remains of living things. Limestone and Peat are examples. 2. Inorganic (Mechanical) sedimentary rock - these are formed from the compacted remains of the broken down particles of other rocks; Sandstone and Shale are examples. Sedimentary Rock examples and their formation:

themselves‚ this works because when the coral dies it produces limestone which the new coral grows on. The limestone is also weathered down and redistributed to other parts of the ecosystem to create a range of other landforms. Through the production of limestone coral reefs are able to withstand the erosive power of waves. Overtime individual corals will of course die but this will allow the growth of new coral on the stable limestone structures the leave behind. Sediment is also an important
