ENGLISH
The geographical area to the north and west of Trento used to be called ‘Monti Pallidi’ because of the pale colour of the limestone that formed the mountains. Then at the end of the 18th century a French mineralogist by the name of Dieudonné-Sylvain-Guy-Tancrede de Gratet de Dolomieu collected samples of the limestone rock between Trento and Bolanzo and was surprised to find that they did not react when he treated them with hydrochloric acid. Calcium carbonate limestone normally fizzes as carbon dioxide gas is produced when the acid reacts so he gave samples to a friend, Theodoré de Saussure, for chemical analysis. The latter confirmed the rock samples were not ‘normal’ limestone but were made of calcium magnesium carbonate, with alternate layers of calcium ions being replaced by magnesium ions. Ca Mg (CO3)2 was a mineral unknown at the time and Saussure proposed naming it “Dolomite” in honour of his mineralogist friend. As this was the principal element in the sedimentary rocks of the region, the name Dolomite was also attached to the geographical area and now the Dolomites are renown world-wide as a region of really spectacular scenery.
Italian mountaineers have equipped some of the huge cliffs in the region with wires and ladders (hence Via Ferrata or ‘iron ways’) that enable ordinary mortals to traverse the mountains in comparative safety. The north end of the Via Delle Bocchette is named in honour of Alfredo Benini who lived between 1895 and 1968.
If you get to the listing co-ordinates you will see a stainless steel “CAI SAT” plaque telling you (if you didn’t already know!) that you are on the Sentiero Alfredo Benini. To log this Earthcache you must do 3 things.
First take a picture of yourself with the stainless steel plaque in the background and upload this with your ‘log’.
Second e mail to tell me the 2nd word on the 2nd line and 3rd word on the 3rd line of the red metal German notice nearby.
Finally at some point before you leave the mountains pick up a fist-size piece of Dolomite and take it back home with you. Weigh it on your kitchen scales and find its volume using displacement of water in a measuring jug. In your e mail tell me the density of Dolomite in grams per cubic centimetre (1 cc = 1ml = 1cm3)

La zona geografica a nord e ovest di Trento utilizzato per essere chiamato 'Monti Pallidi' a causa del pallido colore della pietra calcarea che si è formata sulle montagne. Quindi alla fine del 18 ° secolo un francese mineralogist con il nome di Dieudonné-Sylvain-Guy-Tancrede de Gratet de Dolomieu raccolti i campioni di roccia calcarea tra Trento e Bolanzo ed è stato sorpreso di trovare che non reagire quando essi trattati con acido cloridrico. Carbonato di calcio di calcare normalmente “fizz” come biossido di carbonio del gas è prodotto quando l'acido reagisce in modo egli ha dato campioni a un amico, Theodoré de Saussure, per l'analisi chimica. Quest'ultimo ha confermato la roccia campioni non sono stati 'normale' di calcare, ma sono state apportate di calcio carbonato di magnesio, si alternano con strati di ioni calcio vengono sostituiti da ioni magnesio. Ca Mg (CO3) 2 è stato un minerale sconosciuti al momento della proposta di Saussure e di denominazione di "Dolomiti" in onore del suo amico mineralogist. Dato che questo è stato il principale elemento in rocce sedimentarie della regione, il nome delle Dolomiti è stato anche allegato alla zona geografica e ora le Dolomiti sono rinomate in tutto il mondo come una regione di veramente spettacolare scenario.
Alpinisti italiani hanno dotato alcuni dei grandi scogliere nella regione, con fili e scale (da qui Via Ferrata o 'modi di ferro') che consentono comuni mortali a percorrere la montagna in sicurezza comparativa. La fine del nord Via delle Bocchette è chiamato in onore di Alfredo Benini che visse tra il 1895 e il 1968.
Se si ottiene l'elenco coordinate vedrete in acciaio inossidabile "CAI SAT" targa che diranno (se non hai già lo sappiamo!) Che siete sulla Alfredo Sentiero Benini. Per accedere Earthcache questo si deve fare le cose 3.
Prima scattare una foto con la targa di acciaio inossidabile in background e caricare con il 'login'.
Seconda e-mail a dirmi il 2 ° parola sulla 2a e 3a linea di parola sulla 3a riga del metallo rosso Tedesco legale nelle vicinanze.
Infine, a un certo punto prima di lasciare la montagna affidatevi a un pugno di dimensioni pezzo di Dolomite e portarla a casa con te. Pesare sul tuo cucina scale e trovare il suo volume utilizzando spostamento d'acqua in una brocca di misura. In tuo mail e dimmi la densità della Dolomite in grammi per centimetro cubo (1 cc = 1 ml = 1cm3)

Die geografischen Gebiet im Norden und Westen von Trient verwendet werden soll 'Monti Pallidi ", weil der blasse Farbe der Kalkstein gebildet, dass die Berge. Dann am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts ein französischer Mineraloge durch den Namen Dieudonné-Sylvain-Guy-Tancrede de Gratet de Dolomieu gesammelten Proben des Felsens Kalkstein zwischen Trient und Bolanzo und war überrascht, dass sie nicht reagieren, wenn er sie behandelt mit Salzsäure. Calciumcarbonat Kalkstein normalerweise fizzes wie Kohlendioxid produziert wird, wenn die Säure reagiert, so gab er Proben an einen Freund, Theodoré de Saussure, für die chemische Analyse. Letzteres bestätigte die Rock-Proben wurden keine "normalen" Kalkstein, sondern wurden von Calcium-Magnesiumcarbonat, mit anderen Schichten von Kalzium-Ionen werden durch Magnesium-Ionen. Ca Mg (CO3) 2 war ein unbekanntes Mineral in der Zeit und Saussure vorgeschlagene Namensgebung "Dolomit" zu Ehren seines Freundes Mineraloge. Da es sich hierbei um das wichtigste Element in der sedimentären Gesteinen der Region, den Namen Dolomit wurde auch an der geographischen Gebiet und jetzt die Dolomiten sind bekannt weltweit als eine Region wirklich spektakuläre Landschaft.
Italienisch Bergsteiger ausgestattet haben einige der großen Klippen in der Region mit Kabeln und Leitern (daher Via Ferrata oder "Klettersteig'), mit denen gewöhnliche Sterbliche zu durchqueren den Bergen in vergleichender Sicherheit. Die nördlichen Ende der Via delle Bocchette ist benannt zu Ehren von Alfredo Benini, lebte zwischen 1895 und 1968.
Wenn Sie auf die Auflistung koordiniert sehen Sie eine Edelstahl "CAI SAT" Plaque sage Ihnen (wenn Sie nicht schon wissen!), Dass Sie sich auf den Sentiero Alfredo Benini. Um sich dieser Earthcache müssen Sie 3 Dinge.
Erstens um ein Foto von sich selbst mit dem Edelstahl-Plaque im Hintergrund und laden Sie diese mit Ihrem 'log'.
Zweite E-Mail um mir die 2. Wort in der 2. Zeile und 3. Wort in der 3. Zeile der deutschen Metall-rot Hinweis in der Nähe.
Schließlich zu einem gewissen Punkt, bevor Sie verlassen die Berge holen Sie sich Faust-Größe Stück von Dolomit und bringen Sie es wieder mit nach Hause. Wiegen Sie es in Ihrer Küche finden, Skalen und das Volumen mit Verdrängung von Wasser in ein Messgerät Krug. In dein E-Mail-Sagen Sie mir die Dichte von Dolomit in Gramm pro Kubikzentimeter (1 cc = 1ml = 1cm3)
THE DOLOMITE PROBLEM!!
In the 200 years since Dolomieu's discovery, the origin of dolomite has become a multifaceted problem. In the early days, the first question geologists faced was whether dolomite was a sedimentary or metamorphic rock? Had it formed as a sediment at or close to the surface of the Earth, OR was it a result of changes brought about by high temperature and pressure after sedimentary rocks were buried? It soon became clear that although metamorphic dolomite does exist, most large bodies of dolomite, known as dolostones, must be sedimentary.
But this left another problem: was the rock initially deposited as dolomite OR was it replacive i.e. magnesium-containing crystals growing to replace existing limestone? Such replacement could happen after the initial deposition of the sediment, as part of the processes known as diagenesis - the lithification of the sediment by compaction, cementation, mineral transformations and recrystallisation which occurs below 150 to 200 °C (changes at higher temperatures are classed as 'metamorphic'). The present consensus is that most Dolomite is formed by diagenetic replacement of limestone, with precipitation of fine grains so dolomite crystals grow within existing limestone, especially if there is low sulphate in the water. It has been calculated that it takes at least 1000 cubic metres of sea water (containing 1390 parts per million of Magnesium) to produce 1 cubic metre of Dolomite.
However, in the 1950s, economic pressures to understand hydrocarbons in sedimentary carbonate rocks led researchers to the intertidal salt flats of the Persian Gulf and the Bahamas. Here the prospectors found dolomite so young that it was likely to be a primary deposit, renewing interest in the dolomite problem. In these tidal flats, dolomite is found not only with other carbonates but also with deposits of gypsum and anhydrite. They form when sea water evaporates while washing over a large intertidal area, known as a sabkha. So we still don’t know how all Dolomite is formed. If you're interested see (visit link)
