Luobi Cave Luobi Cave Luobi Cave () is a karst cave under the west face of Yin Ridge (印岭) located north east of Lizhigou Town (荔枝沟镇), from Sanya City, Hainan Province, People's Republic of China. The entrance to the cave is approximately high and wide. Inside the apex reaches a height of with a floor area of about Two large stalactites hang down from the roof like large pens, hence the cave's name. A number of inscriptions carved into the walls of the cave are believed to date to the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368). One of these refers to the precise date of
Carbonate compensation depth oceans' elevated temperatures during this period. In the late Eocene the transition from a greenhouse to an icehouse Earth coincided with a deepened CCD. Today, increasing atmospheric concentration of from combustion of fossil fuels may lead to shallower CCD, with zones of downwelling first being affected. John Murray investigated and experimented on the dissolution of calcium carbonate and was first to identify the carbonate compensation depth in oceans. Carbonate compensation depth Calcite compensation depth (CCD) is the depth in the oceans below which the rate of supply of calcite (calcium carbonate) lags behind the rate of solvation, such that no
