SteveMicrite is a type of limestone composed of tiny carbonate mud particles, while travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, typically porous and often banded. An easy way to distinguish between them is that micrite is typically fine-grained and lacks visible pores or bands, while travertine is more porous and may display banding due to mineral deposits.

What can the s-p interval tell us about an earthquake?
The S-P interval can tell us the distance to the earthquake epicenter. By measuring the time difference between the arrival of the S and P waves on a seismogram, seismologists can calculate the distance based on the known velocity of seismic waves through the Earth.
What is difference between hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen sulphide?
There is no difference between hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen sulphide. The term "sulfide" and "sulphide" both refer to the chemical compound H2S, also known as hydrogen sulfide. The difference in spelling is simply a matter of regional or historical variation.
What test would allow you to tell the difference between carbon dioxide and nitrogen?
The limewater test can differentiate between carbon dioxide and nitrogen. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater, it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Nitrogen will not have this effect on limewater.
What does the difference between the Earth's polar circumference and the Earth's equatorial circumference tell you about the Earth's shape?
The difference between the Earth's polar circumference and equatorial circumference, known as the flattening of the Earth, indicates that the Earth is an oblate spheroid. This means that the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator, making it not a perfect sphere.
What are the difference between sand and potting soil are they both mixtures how do you know?
Sand is a granular material composed of small rock particles, while potting soil is a mixture of organic materials such as peat moss, compost, and perlite. Sand is not a mixture, as it is a single component, while potting soil is a mixture because it contains multiple components blended together. You can tell the difference based on their composition and physical properties.
