Creator Krishnamoorti, N
 
Subject Coral Reefs
 
Description The air and water are absolutely essential for the existence of mankind. Like that for the existence of industry, there
are minerals of various nature. Of these, limestone and lime
are cheap materials and mostly used in industries in one form or
the other, directly or indirectly in the process. Even the use of
other raw materials such as iron ore, coal, crude oil, sulphur
and salt are only second or at best equal to the quantity of
limestone used in industry. Limestone is available in abundance
to the extent of 3 to 4% of the elements in the earth's crust. Of
the very many varieties of its occurrence in nature, coral limestone
is one in which dominant part is the fossilised coral.
