What kind of rock does marble turn into?
Tufa, possibly, by dissolution and precipitation. It is pure to very pure crystalline calcium carbonate, and is metamorphosed from limestone, so the most that can happen to it is erosion.
Where does marble rock come from?
Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolomite, and is predominately calcitic in composition. Marble usually forms from regional metamorphism associated with plate collisions.
A metamorphic rock made from limestone?
Marble is the metamorphic rock formed from limestone. =)
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.

No. Marble is metamorphosed limestone, recrystallized from heat, pressure, or both.
How do rocks such as limestone and marble form?
Limestone - sedimentary deposition of calcarious marine organisms. Marble - compressed (metamorphosed) limestone.
