crust. This mineral is a basic building block of the construction industry and the chief material from which aggregate, cement, lime, and building stone are made. For the purposes of this report, limestone will be used as a sample for crushed rock. One product of limestone mining is lime. A wide range of industries use lime for a myriad of uses.
In humid climates, limestone dissolves quickly and is carried away by water. This creates caves which can become weak and collapse. Underground mining of limestone can cause a cascading environmental impact. Mining in the karst can lower the water table, which removes the support of rock that overlies water-filled caverns, …
