limestone containing carbonate CaCO3
I can Identify L.S By HCl
Because L.S react with HCl
الصخر الجيري مكون من كالسيوم كاربونيت CaCO3
ونستدل عليه عن طريق حامض ال HCl
لأن الكربونيت يتفاعل مع HCl

Layers of limestone in a rock outcrop indicate that the area had at some time been?
A rock outcrop is the part of a rock formation that appears above land. so if i am not mistaken this area had been covered by water. but i could be wrong +++ You are not mistaken, but not quite there. Limestone is laid down under water - most of the limestones (including chalk) we see formed under the sea but some formed in lakes. Their terrestrial outcrop normally occurs because their region was uplifted by tectonic action, though world-wide ("eustatic") sea-level changes can also reveal them. This is particularly true of the Chalk, because the sea-level in the Cretaceous, when it formed, was up 300metres above present.
Was clitheroe castle built on a volcano?
No it is built on an outcrop of 350 million year old Carboniferous Limestone which is a sedimentary rock.
What can organic sedimentary rock formed from layers of bones and shells form?
Limestone
How does limestone turn into marble in the earth?
When limestone is under high pressure from overlaying rock layers and is heated by magma it can form marble.
Which is the youngest in a sereis of undisturbed rock layers where shale lies between sandstone below and limestone above?
Limestone is the youngest since it's at the top
If a dike is present within a rock outcrop what is its age relationship with the other rock layers?
Any igneous dike or intrusion is younger that the surrounding rock layers.

What rocks is formed in layers?
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
Was clitheroe castle built on a volcano?
No it is built on an outcrop of 350 million year old Carboniferous Limestone which is a sedimentary rock.
Whick type of rock has layers?
Sedimentary rock, such as limestone, chalk, slate and sandstone.
What is a outcrop?
A rock outcrop is the part of a rock formation that appears above land.
What layers of type of rock can be found at grand canyon?
Probably Kaibab limestone, Coconino sandstone, Hermit shale, Redwall limestone, Muav limestone, Vishnu Schist, and other layers.
What is the reason that the limestone in column 1 is thinner than the limestone in column 2?
because of the rock layers
Where did a limestone rock come from?
Limestone is formed by the skeletal remains of countless minute sea creatures that died in the ancient past and formed layers on the sea floor. Given a very long time and immense pressure, the skeletal layers became solid limestone rock. Due to the earth's many upheavals, these limestone rock layers were often brought to the surface and formed part of the solid crust on which we live.
What can organic sedimentary rock formed from layers of bones and shells form?
Limestone
Is limestone a metallic element?
Most limestone is the skeletal remains of marine organisms. Basically, laid down on the sea bed in layers, and compressed over a very long time, the layers become solid limestone rock.
How does limestone turn into marble in the earth?
When limestone is under high pressure from overlaying rock layers and is heated by magma it can form marble.
