Caves at Rockwood interest many visitors by Ward worth University The commonest type of rock that occurs In Southern Ontario Is limestone In this part of Ontario it was formed some four hundred million years ago beneath a shallow tropical sea The principal mineral found In our local limestones Is called calclle and its chemical name is calcium carbonate The scale that forms in the bottom of a kettle when hard water Is boiled In it Is made of the same sub stance An Important property of this substance Is that it dissolves in acid In fact one of the ways of removing the scale In your kettle is to add vinegar to it The acid vinegar attacks the calcium carbonate and bubbles of carbon dioxide gas ore given off A very common acid that occurs in nature Is rainwater As rain falls through the sky it picks up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and this makes the water slightly acid If the rain now falls on limestone it will dissolve a little of the rock until the acid is neutralized The amount of rock dis solved will be too small to notice over a short time but in the span of thousands and even millions of years a great deal of rock can be removed Natural breaks or fissures in the limestone will be widened and In percolating through the rock the natural waters will dissolve more and more calcium carbonate In this way caverns may eventually form underground Southern Ontario has many caves formed like this on or close to the Niagara Escarpment in a belt of country stretching from the Bruce Peninsula to the Niagara River Some of the most interesting and best developed are at in the valley of the Eramosa River Cave see map is the one that is usually visited It has a 10 feet high opemlng at the bottom of a foot cliff of limestone and its entrance

continuously from the roof and for the most part the floor is covered with wet brown mud The water contains calcium dissolved ridges encrusting the cave Rockwood is located 16 walls miles west of
