Weathering and Erosion - breakdown of uplifted rocks into soil and sediment, and transportation of sediment. Deposition and Burial and Lithification - accumulation of sediment and transformation from sediment into sedimentary rocks. Metamorphism - process that changes sedimentary and igneous rocks via excessive heat and pressure. Melting and Crystallization - processes that convert sedimentary and metamorphic rock into magma and then, after cooling, into igneous rock. Also found in peat, coal and in trace amounts in shale and other sedimentary rocks.
Calcite is the principle mineral in limestones and marble.
The ultimate goal is a sustainable balance between Resources and Population and a maintainable position between Human Habitat and Natural Hazards. And taxes go toward costs of environmental remediation, protection. Environmental Deficit is the difference between what is paid for a product, and the actual cost to the community of that product.
