This is one in a series of ‘Blast’ photos taken by Naoya Hatakeyama using remote-control cameras to capture Japan’s limestone blasting operations from point-blank range. Limestone is a sedimentary rock consisting mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and is a key ingredient in the production of concrete, steel, glass, plastic, and medicine. Japan extracts about 200 million tons of limestone from quarries each year, and has about 10 billion tons of limestone deposits. -TEL Limestone blast photos: http://geology.rockbandit.net/2009/02/18/limestone-quarry-explosion-photos-awesome/ -- source link
