The calcite going in and out of solution offers critical pH-buffering. Crushed limestone / calcrete would be ideal to introduce to urban stormwater to adsorb CO2 and heavy metals dissolved in it. Crushed limestone / calcrete has the potential to bring back a fishery if you use it to filter polluted water in an oxic environment.
Phreatomagmatic involves direct interaction between molten rock (magma) and groundwater. Hydrothermal eruptions can be driven by any indirect heat source.
Don't know if this is up your alley, but my son found a rock he thinks is a petrified goat hoof. He posted a video about it on his channel " Treasure Hunters".
Would an iron carbonate like Ankerite or an Iron enriched Dolomite, hosted by hydrothermal replacement deposit, be considered a potential ore? Degreeless weekend warrior prospecter here. 😅 Loving your videos btw.
Potential, yes. Certain, no! Any evidence of a large volume hydrothermal system is an indicator of potential for gold and other metals, but alas, there are many hydrothermal systems that involved little more than bath water and carry no metals of significance.
Travertines are not found sourced in carbonate rocks. This is how they get their silica. High silica load comes from alkaline conditions. The fine veinlets of silica in travertines comes from shifting CO2 load in the water. The silica forms in layers along with the carbonate. Travertines can also be found with opal-CT.
For those of us who can’t afford the full package, these videos are a blessing! Thanks mate! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦🍻🥂
Agree he is the best on you tube

What is the difference between phreatomagmatic eruption and hydrothermal eruption?

Each little discovery is a treasure in my view. Trying to sort out what they are is a challenging game of who done it :)
Great video, thank you!
Confusingly in German we call Tufa Tuff only with the prefix of Calcium making it Calcium-Tuff
Crikey. That Tufa name really was a bad choice!

Awesome video! Happy to hear about tufa from you any day of the week :)
Thanks. Interesting rocks are everywhere!
Great videos. Very informative, thank you.
Thanks. Glad you find the info useful.

Tufa terraces is not tufa saline lakes like Mono Lake, whose infrared signature is calcite, barite, halite, all similar to caliche (scale).
Yes, really Excellent Information Indeed !
Thanks Galatura. Glad you found it interesting.
@@GeologyUpSkill Certainly I did. I hope to never stop learning !
An Australian guy's idea of room temperature may well include hydrothermal springs... 🌞🥵🔥
