  • valdavalt kaltsiidist koosnev karbonaatne kivim. Moodustunud veekogu põhja settinud lubimudast, milles leidub organismide lubiskelette ja savi.
  • a sedimentary rock that is composed largely of carbonate minerals, especially carbonates of calcium and magnesium
lubjakivi
Usage examples
  • Nõuded dolokivi, fosforiidi, järvelubja, järvemuda, kristalliinse ehituskivi, kruusa, liiva, lubjakivi, meremuda, põlevkivi, savi ja turba omadustele ning lasundi lasumistingimustele ja omadustele maavaravaruna maardlas arvele võtmiseks on järgmised: ... 8) lubjakivi – karbonaatkivim, mille karbonaatsest osast moodustab kaltsiit üle 50%, MgO sisaldus on kuni 14% ja lahustumatu jäägi sisaldus kuni 25%; ...
limestone
Usage examples
  • There are many varieties of limestones but most are deposited in shallow water. Organic limestones(e.g. chalk) are formed from the calcareous skeletons of organisms; precipitated limestonesinclude oolite, which is composed of ooliths – spherical bodies formed by the precipitation of carbonate around a nucleus; and clastic limestonesare derived from fragments of pre-existing calcareous rocks.

limescale
  • vähelahustuvate leelismuldmetallide soolade, peamiselt CaCO3, MgCO3, CaSO4 ja CaSiO3 segakuhjatis
  • conglomerate of low-solubility alkaline earth salts, mainly CaCO3, MgCO3, CaSO4 and CaSiO3
lubjakivi
Usage examples
  • Lubjakivi tekib kas vees lahustunud leelismuldmetallide soolade soojusmuundamise teel (karbonaadi karedus) või lahustuvuspiiri ületamise teel, mis sõltub ka temperatuurist.
limescale
Usage examples
  • The limescale either by heat conversion of the alkaline earth salts dissolved in the water (carbonate hardness) or by overstepping the point of solubility which is also temperature-dependent.
