Is a form of chemical weathering where carbonate and bicarbonate ions react with minerals that contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium.

1881, from carbonic acid, an old name for carbon dioxide (see carbonate (n.)) + -ation.

The process of introducing carbon dioxide into a liquid (such as beer) by:

a type of chemical weathering in which carbonic acid (carbon dioxide dissolved in rainwater) reacts with the magnesium, potassium, sodium, or calcium in rocks like limestone and feldspar and thereby dissolves them, sometimes forming caves.

a form of chemical weathering where natural rainwater, a weak carbonic acid, reacts with calcium carbonate in rock to produce calcium bicarbonate.

injecting or dissolving carbon dioxide gas in a liquid to create a bubbly taste and texture.

(n) saturation with carbon dioxide (as soda water)

How fizzy your beer is! It can come from the yeast giving off CO2 as a by-product or by being force-carbonated with CO2 (which is usually done with keg beer.)

The process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas in a liquid, such as beer.

Sparkle caused by carbon dioxide, either created during fermentation or injected later.

The state of having carbon dioxide gas dissolved in a liquid. ''Soda pop is basically sugar water with a little bit of flavoring and added carbonation.'' The amount or level of dissolved carbon [..]
