What does rock composition mean?
Igneous rock composition basically means how the rock would look if you were to cut it in half. In the case of igneous rock, you would see the different layers of rocks that have melted with it.
What is a limestone pavement?
Limestone pavement can be found in a large number of places, however one famous example is Malham Cove in North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. Please see the related link for more information and a photograph of the Limestone Pavement at Malham.
When all the grains in a rock are easy to see the rock is described as what?
Visible crystals or grains would be referred to as a coarse grained texture.
Why do many caverns form in limestone?
Because limestone is soluble and is comparatively easily dissolved by water which contains weak acids. Due to limestone's different features: it is pearmeable, it can be dissolved by slightly acidic water and yet it is very strong. Water can seep into the limestone then erode it, eventually forming a cave or cavern.
What type of rock is Rock Of Gibraltar composed of?

What kind of magma forms limestone?
Limestone is not formed from magma; it is a common sedimentary rock. However it may be worth noting that there is a rare form of igneous rock known as Carbonatite which is formed predominately from carbonate minerals and may be confused with Marble, however it is never described as Limestone. Please see the related link.
Is limestone a foliated rock?
No. Foliation is a word used to describe metamorphic rocks that have undergone deformation which has caused an alignment of their crystals. Foliated rocks often appear to have "bands" of minerals. To find out more and to see a picture of a foliated rock - in this case a Gneiss, please see the related link.

calcium
What is carbonic acid and how does it effect rock?
Carbonic acid is what forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. It is a weak acid but will over time, dissolve many rocks, especially carbonates such as limestone. To see what a very weak solution can do over millions of years one only has to visit Carlsbad Caverns or other karst caves found throughout the world.
How would you test a substance to see if it was metal?
