One of the major things they leave behind is carbonates.

产生的一个主要物质就碳酸盐。

My imagination was signated by the carbonates.

我的想象被碳酸盐印证了。

Take limestone, a chalky rock rich in minerals called carbonates.

以为，一种富含碳酸盐矿物的白垩质。

Carbonate minerals come from carbon dioxide and water a key ingredient of life.

碳酸盐矿物来自二氧化碳和水，生命的关键成分。

The pearl mullets are unique to Turkey and thrive in Lake Van's salty carbonated water.

珍珠鲻鱼土耳其独有的，在凡湖的碳酸盐水中茁壮成长。

The gluten goes to form your muscles or flesh, the lime hardens your bones, and the starch warms your body and gives you strength for your work.

小麦粉能够形成你的肌肉, 碳酸盐可以加固你的骨骼, 而粉则带来了身体所需的热量与体能。

Meanwhile the changing chemistry of the oceans lowers the abundance of carbonate ions, making it harder for corals to form their skeletons.

同时，海洋化学物质的变化降低了碳酸盐离子的丰度，使得珊瑚更难形成骨骼。

But at greater depths, the water isn't quite as saturated with calcium and carbonate, and thus calcium carbonate is easier to dissolve.

但在更深的地方，水里的钙和碳酸盐的饱和度不高，因此碳酸钙更容易溶解。

And lastly, carbonate rocks like limestone or dolostone yield whitish flour, sometimes producing chalky aqua or jade green tones.

最后，像或白云样的碳酸盐，会产生偏白色的粉，有时会让湖水呈现出粉笔般的浅蓝色或翡翠绿色调。

Scientists will compare samples taken from salda to the suspected carbonate materials detected at Jezreel.

科学家们将把从萨尔达采集的样本与在耶斯列陨坑发现的可疑碳酸盐物质进行比较。

Simply put, when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, carbonate in the ocean decreases and shell-building gets harder to do — at least for a moment.

简单地说，当大气中的二氧化碳浓度升高，海水中的碳酸盐减少，短时间内更难合成贝类。

And so, if you're able to detect carbonates in the soil, that gives you an indication that there were living organisms.

所以如果能检测到土壤中的碳酸盐，就说明些曾经活的有机体。

Small amounts of carbonate minerals have also been found on asteroids, including the near-Earth asteroid Bennu and the dwarf planet Ceres.

在小行星上也发现了少量的碳酸盐矿物，包括近地小行星本努和矮行星谷神星。

But lifeless processes can make carbonate-rich rocks like limestone, too.

但无生命的过程也可以产生富含碳酸盐的，比如。

Given enough time, the physics and chemistry of the ocean will cause the " dissolving depth" to rise, and more shells on the seafloor will return their calcium and carbonate back to the water, restoring normal levels.

只要有足够的时间，海洋的物理和化学反应就会使 “溶解深度”上升，海底更多的贝壳就会把它们的钙和碳酸盐还原到海水中，恢复正常水平。

Mars's warmer, wetter past makes it the second-best place in the solar system to find carbonates.

火星温暖潮湿的过去使它成为太阳系中发现碳酸盐的第二好地方。

To culminate its mission, the rover will seek the carbonate-rich shores of the ancient lake.

为了完成其使命，火星车将探寻古代湖泊富含碳酸盐的湖岸。

The asteroid also appears to have large stores of carbonate minerals.

颗小行星似乎还蕴藏着大量碳酸盐矿物。

Benchmark Minerals, a consultancy, estimates that carbonate prices are four times what they were on average between 2016 and 2021, when many big projects were commissioned – mines take about five years to build.

咨询公司Benchmark Minerals估计，碳酸盐价格2016年至2021年平均水平（当时许多大型项目启动，矿山建设大约需要五年时间）的四倍。

It's no surprise that sea creatures have made use of these abundant compounds, but the way calcium and carbonate are woven together into various shapes is surprisingly artful.

海洋生物利用些丰富的化合物并不奇怪，但钙和碳酸盐交织在一起形成各种形状的方式却出人意料地巧妙。
