Summary
| Description |
Dreimühlen Wasserfall, Ahütte and Niederehe, Kalkeifel, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland. Deutsch: Moose hinter einer Karstquelle assimilieren ihr Kohlendioxid aus kalksaturiertem Wasser, statt aus der Luft. Dabei fällt eine Kalkteilmenge chemisch aus und verkrustet die Moose. Weil die Pflanze auf den Kalkkrusten weiterwächst, entsteht ein poröses Sediment, welches zu gewaltigen Kalktuffbarren anwachsen kann. Der Prozess des Ausfällens ist von mehreren physikalischen und chemischen Faktoren des Wassers und der Umgebung abhängig.
Wegen eines Eisenbahn-Trassenbaus wurde das Karstwasser auf der großen Kalksinterterrasse umgeleitet. So entstand erst seit 1912 an einer Fallstufe das imposante Kalktuffgebilde. English: Growing, huge deposit of porous, stable and extremely lightweight limestone rock sediment, forming behind a Karstspring. When moss assimilates its carbon dioxide from calcium carbonate saturated spring water, part of the mineral precipitates chemically. Plant and mineral form to a crust, the plant continues growing on top of this. The basic chemical process is more or less activated depending on physical and chemical conditions of the water and the environment. Deposits of the Travertine terrace also created this formation after 1912, when the springs water course was altered, due to railway construction works. |
