How do limestone deposits formed from reefs provide evidence of how earths surface change?
Limestone deposits formed from reefs, known as fossiliferous limestone, provide evidence of Earth's surface changes by documenting past marine environments and biological activity. As reefs grow, they accumulate calcium carbonate from the skeletal remains of marine organisms, which can later become sedimentary rock. The presence and distribution of these limestone deposits indicate historical sea levels, climate conditions, and tectonic activities. Studying these formations helps scientists understand shifts in Earth's geology and climate over millions of years.
What explains that limestone that began as coral can be found on continents?
the coral reefs only grow in the under water and the continents are under water so it can grow and give a good place in the under water.

What is sedimentary rock formed from deposites of shells?
Limestone. However most large masses of limestone formed from coral reefs, not shells. The shell fossils in this limestone are "incidentals" due to shell dwelling organisms living on the periphery of the reef, not the bulk of the limestone.
What evidence do limestone deposits from coral reefs provide about Earth's history?
Limestone deposits that began as coral reefs provide how plate motions have changed Earth's surface. These deposits also provide evidence of past environments.
How do hard corals grow?
they grow by building reefs
What type of stone is made by coral reef?
Coral reefs primarily produce limestone, a sedimentary rock composed chiefly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). As corals grow and die, their calcium carbonate skeletons accumulate and consolidate over time, forming limestone deposits. This process contributes to the formation of various types of limestone, including reef limestone, which is specifically associated with coral formations.
What are coral reefs that grow in shallow water and border the coast?
fringing reefs
Do coral reefs grow well in high levels of oxygen?
yes, coral reefs do grow well in high levels of oxygen.
How can limestone deposits be used to learn about earth's history?
yes
What living invertibrates creates landforms?
Corals create reefs. Ancient corals are a part of limestone
What kind of rocks form from evaporation?
I'm not 100% sure but I believe its limestone from coral reefs
