Is a calcite a sedimentary rock?
Yes i Believe it is.
What is a geological test?
an example of one is.... ACID adding dilute HCl (hydrochloric acid) to a rock will determine if it contains calcite- a good indicator of Limestone and other rocks made from the bodies of fossilised creatures
What two ores contain the same element?
Many minerals have these properties. Calcium for example is contained in both Limestone and in Dolomite. Indeed, calcium carbonate occurs in two forms - as Aragonite, and as Calcite. Iron is contained in both Hematite and in Iron Pyrites.
What is the mineral present of marble?
marble is a metamorphic rock and was formed by regional or contact metamorphism it is a metamorphism of limestone and dolostone. the composition is calcite and/or limestone(sedimentry rock made od calcite)
All rocks and minerals contain long-lived radioactive elements?
Yes, they do (unless they are really really tiny crystals of less than a few micrometer size or so, where in a few cases they might not contain a single atom of a long-lived radioactive element). None of the naturally occuring minerals is completely pure. For example calcite (CaCO3) always contains traces of magnesium, strontium, barium (and most other elements in the periodic table but at very very low concentrations). As there are about 8 * 10^22 atoms in a calcite crystal with a volume of 1 cm³, it is hardly surprising that a few of these atoms are long-lived radionuclides; in the case of calcite mostly Uranium.
The mineral calcite contains calcium carbon and oxygen Calcite is an example of an?
Calcite is an example of a carbonate mineral.
Calcite is an example of what?
A mineral based on calcium carbonate.
What contains two or more types of elements?
Compound elements. For example, calcite has the combination of calcium, oxygen, and carbon.
Is a calcite a sedimentary rock?

Calcite is an example of a?
compound
What is an example of an index?
calcite
Is calcite an example of a mineral?

If Calcite will scratch gypsum This is an example of what physical characteristics?
It is hardness. Calcite is harder than gypsum.
What is an example of minerals?
petrified wood
Example of mineral which has a Reaction to hydrochloric acid?
calcite
How do you identify the property of a mineral but what does it mean where we say calcite has a hardness?
We use Mohs scale of mineral hardness to access the hardness of minerals, which calcite is one example.
