The fist reason for continental drift is that the continents fit together like a puzzle. The second reason is the that on other continents there are the same plants and animal â¦ s. The third reason is that the rocks are the same on each continent.
How Lime is Made. The word âlimeâ refers to products derived from heating (calcining) limestone. Limestone is a naturally occurring and abundant sedimentary rock consisting of high levels of calcium and/or magnesium carbonate and/or dolomite (calcium and magnesium carbonate), along with minerals.
The pictures below show that quarry, and beach rip rap, which is one use of the limestone. Most of the limestone is transported from this quarry by truck, but some is still moved by rail. In addition to limestone, Michigan also produces pure lime as well. Lime is purified limestone, and is often of more value to industry than is limestone. The map below shows where lime is produced. Some of the lime comes from marl--limey ooze that was depoisted on the bottoms of lakes, often glacial lakes. The map below shows the North American Silurian reef system.
