Limestone is a type of soft rock
...
The
elements in limestone are calcium, carbon and oxygen
...
When limestone is quarried, it just means that it is
being dug out of the ground

distances and they can sometimes damage the local environment
...
This could damage some people’s quality of
life
...
This will attract locals and tourists to
take their families to places and they can meet new people and talk to new people
...
Finally, the
quarries could be used for educational purposes – such as school trips
...

There are many economic advantages to quarrying

The money could help with
funding for social resources

and they will also bring money into the area because they will pay money to do things
...

The social disadvantages of quarrying are that tourism is greatly reduced

Secondly, the dust and
noise from the machinery can be seen and heard by the local community, so this will affect
the quality of people’s life

could cause more pollution in the area

areas, and if children wonder off and go there not knowing the risks of being there, they
could end up being seriously hurt

weeks before it was due to reopen

national parks
