List two kinds of rock that are easily weathered by carbonic acid?
Limestone is the rock that is most easily broken down by carbonic acid. Marble is another rock that is susceptible to carbonic acid.
When limestone is heated under pressure what does it form?
marble
What is the chmical formula of marble?
Chemical formula for marble is CaCO3. Ca means calcium. C means carbon. O means oxygen. here it means 1 calcium, 1 carbon and 3 oxygen. They also call marble as calcium carbonate.
What does heat and pressure turn limestone into?
Metamorphic rock
Is marble a metal?
Yes. Marble is metamorphic rock from a limestone or dolomite protolith.
What weathers marble and limestone?
carbon dioxide: when it mixes with rain& water will create carbonic acid rain which weathers marble and limestone.so carbonic acid weathers marble and limestone.
What is the correct chemical name for limestone or marble?
Marble is known as Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) in terms of chemical formula.
What agent weathers marble and limestone?
this is the same question that was on my science homework ,as for the answer im not sure i think it's carbonic acid
How does limestone affect monuments?
Limestone is primarily made of Calcium Carbonate which is a soluable in water and weak acid solutions. Anytime rainfall hits a monument made of limestone, it weathers it a bit faster than if it were made of marble.
Which weathers faster feldspar or marble?
marble .
Is limestone a marble?
Marble is metamorphosed limestone.
What types of bedrock are dissolved most easily by running water?
Limestone and Marble Limestone and Marble
What are the two rocks that wear away the quickest from chemical weathering?
Limestone and marble.
A metamorphic rock made from limestone?
Marble is the metamorphic rock formed from limestone. =)
Is marble the same as limestone?
Marble is made from limestone.
Which weathers faster granite or marble?
Marble will weather more quickly. The mineral calcite, of which marble is composed is softer and less resistant to abrasion than granite. It is also more susceptible to chemical weathering via natural and man-caused acidic rainfall due to its chemical composition. Granite--not so susceptible.
What rock most likely be monominerallic?
Quartzite, limestone, marble, or chemical sedimentary rock.
