what is the balanced symbol equation for the decomposition of limestone?
CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2
what is the word equation for the decomposition of limestone
Calcium carbonate --> calcium oxide + carbon dioxide
what is thermal decomposition?
a reaction in which, when heated, one substance is chemically changed into at least two new substances
what is cement?
limestone and clay heated together
why is reinforced concrete better than non-reinforced concrete?

it is stronger and more flexible because of the steel with the hardness of normal non-reinforced concrete

What is the lithosphere?
Cold, rigid outer part of the earth, made of the crust and is the top par
The top of the lithosphere is split into interlocking pieces called? Two types?
Tectonic plates:Oceanic - sit under the oceanContinental - form the continents
What happens when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate?
Oceanic crust has a higher density, therefore it dips down and slides under it. This is called SUBDUCTION. The oceanic plate is partially re-melted as it goes under the continental plate.
