Produktbeschreibung

Limestone Formations in India explores the geological origins, ecological significance, and industrial applications of these formations across the Indian subcontinent. It highlights how ancient marine environments gave rise to vast limestone deposits, which through chemical weathering, created distinctive karst landscapes and cave systems. Understanding these formations is vital for sustainable resource management, environmental conservation, and responsible industrial development, particularly in cement production. The book details the unique ecosystems that thrive in limestone regions, often harboring endemic species adapted to these specialized habitats, making these areas biodiversity hotspots.

It also examines the economic importance of limestone as a primary raw material for cement and addresses the environmental impact of quarrying. The book progresses from an introduction to limestone geology and its global distribution to a focused examination of Indian formations, detailing their geological characteristics, cave systems, and biodiversity.

Finally, Limestone Formations in India analyzes the cement industry's impact on these regions and explores sustainable extraction practices, culminating in a discussion of conservation strategies. This approach provides a comprehensive overview, making it valuable for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersections of geology, ecology, and industrial development in India.
