What type of rock is anhydrite?
anhydrite is a sedimentary rock ...........
Which is harder limestone or clay?
Limestone would be potentially harder until the clay is fired. The problem we have here is that "clay" is an ambiguous term. There is no homogenous or standard formula for clay. However, clays can generally be formed and baked to become set and hard. This is called firing. Fired clay tends to be quite hard, and depending on the formula, might be harder than limestone.
What is the difference between Gypsum and Anhydrite?
Anhydrite is formed from dehydrated gypsum or to make it easier to understand when water is added to anhydrite it becomes gypsum as we can see from their chemical formulas [Anhydrite (CaSO4) and Gypsum (CaSO4-2H2O)].
Why do rocks erode at different rates?
Some rocks are harder than others like sandstone which is very soft. Other times rock can have different conditions under which they will erode faster such as limestone.
What is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone?
A metamorphic rock formed from limestone is known as marble. Marble is created when limestone undergoes intense heat and pressure over time, causing its minerals to recrystallize and form a new, harder rock with a characteristic crystalline texture.
Is chalk harder than limestone?
No, Limestone is harder than chalk.
Is granite harder than limestone?
Yes
What is a form of calcium carbonate softer than marble but harder than chalk?
Limestone is softer than marble, but harder than chalk.
Contains oygen and carbon softer than fluorit but harder than gypsum?
limestone
Does anhydrite react with HCL acid?
Nope, Limestone reacts on contact, dolomite if scratched to increase its surface area or heating the acid. Anhydrite does not under most circumstances. This fact is used to tell the difference on carbonate wells, among other things
Is dolomitic limestone same as agricultural limestone or horticultural hydrated limestone?
dolomitic limestone is different from agricultural or hydrated limestone the difference is in the MgO content and hardness Dolomitic Limestone is harder than both and its MgO content is higher. The CaO is lower in Dolomitic limestone and High in the later.

What makes up anhydrite?
The chemical formula of Anhydrite is Calcium Sulfate. Sometimes the shell of anhydrite can be composed of strontium, depending where you find it.

Is marble hard or soft?
Marble is a very hard stone. Even though it is harder than limestone it is not as hard as granite.
Which is harder gabbro or limestone?
Gabbro, with its interlocking crystalline structure.
