Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Travertine is a massive accumulation of calcium carbonate that is typically found near hot springs and geysers. It is formed when mineral-rich water evaporates and leaves behind layers of calcium carbonate deposits. Tufa and sinter are also types of calcium carbonate deposits, but they are typically smaller in scale than travertine. Granite is an igneous rock and carbonic acid is a weak acid formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water.
