Pleas the formation of the caves is a result of a fossilized reef that existed 250 to 280 million years ago in an inland sea that has long since disappeared. since limestone is typically made up of fragments of coral, a large limestone deposit eventually formed in the area. today, you can still find several fossilized plants and animals in the caves’ limestone that date back to a time before dinosaurs walked the earth. starting sometime between four and six million years ago, water from the earth’s surface began moving through the cracks in the stone deposit. there is a type of acid in surface water. when this water combined with rainwater, the two mixed to form another type of acid as a result of their chemical compositions. this acid slowly dissolved the limestone to eventually form the winding caves that exist today in carlsbad caverns. this is a very common process that happens to limestone—many caves all around the world exist in limestone deposits due to the stone’s solubility (the ability of a substance to be dissolved) in a mixture of water and acid. questions 1. what is a meaning of the word deposit? a. a natural accumulation of a mineral b. your basis for belief or disbelief c. a heavy, poisonous bad-smelling gas 2. what is another meaning of the word deposit? a. any of numerous relatively small elongated soft-bodied animals b. sediment or rock that is not native to its present location or is different from the surrounding material c. a form of entertainment that enacts a story by sound and a sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous movement use each answer choice only once. choose the one word that best completes the sentence. 3. on the inside of each curve, the river or drops, some of the material it is carrying. a. depositors b. depositing c. depository d. depositor e. deposits f. deposit 4. banks keep separate records for each a. depositors b. depositing c. depository d. depositor e. deposits f. deposit 5. this procedure keeps ' accounts up to date at all times. a. depositors b. depositing c. depository d. depositor e. deposits f. deposit 6. all cash receipts in the bank avoids theft. a. depositors b. depositing c. depository d. depositor e. deposits d. deposit 7. people go to an atm or a teller to take out or money. a. depositors b. depositing c. depository d. depositor e. deposits f. deposit 8. the two men were supposed to be at work at the texas school book building at 8 a. m. a. depositors b. depositing c. depository d. depositor e. deposits f. deposit 9. write your own sentence using the word deposit. 10 . what would you like to remember about the meaning of the word deposit so that you can use it when you write or speak?
