A metamorphic rock made from limestone?
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone that has undergone intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. The process of metamorphism recrystallizes the original minerals in limestone to create the distinct crystalline structure and smooth texture of marble. Marble is valued for its beauty and is commonly used in architecture and sculpture.
Is marble the same as limestone?
Marble is made from limestone.
Why are the textures and weight different from limestone and marble?
limestone is hardened by marble
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.
Is marble formed from limestone and slate?
Yes, Marble is formed from Limestone, but not Slate.
What special property does limestone have in common with marble?
Both limestone and marble have calcium in them.
Which rock was probably was changed into marble by the addition of heat and pressure?
Limestone was probably metamorphed into marble.
What does marble metemorphosize from?
Limestone/chalk. Limestone has been subjected to heat and/or pressure, it metamorposes into marble. Both limestone and marble are calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Its just that the internal physical structure of limestone is altered.
Is marble polished limestone?
No. Marble is metamorphosed limestone, recrystallized from heat, pressure, or both.
What does limestone metamorphoses into?
Limestone metamorphoses into marble.
