What is chemical limestone made of?
Chemical limestone can form when calcite is dissolved.
How do underground limestone carverns form?
it rains and sinks into limestone and over to starts to corrode at the vulnerable limestone
Does limestone forms form skeletons and shells?
limestone forms from skeletons and shells
How do rocks such as limestone and marble form?
Limestone - sedimentary deposition of calcarious marine organisms. Marble - compressed (metamorphosed) limestone.
How do grikes form?
Grikes form through the chemical and physical weathering of limestone bedrock by the dissolving action of water. Over time, this weathering process creates deep grooves or crevices in the limestone, resulting in the characteristic appearance of grikes in limestone pavement landscapes.
What is the name of a very hard sedimentary rock that often forms in limestone?
Chert, a form of quartz, can form as beds or nodules in limestone or dolostone.
What rock is squeezed and heated to form marble?
Limestone is the rock that is squeezed and heated to form marble. The high pressures and temperatures cause the limestone to recrystallize and become the metamorphic rock known as marble.
What rock results from the metamorphism of limestone?
Marble is the rock that results from the metamorphism of limestone. Through the process of heat and pressure, the calcium carbonate in limestone recrystallizes to form marble with a characteristic crystalline structure and unique patterns.
What chemical compounds form caves?
by limestone
What forms calcite.?
Calcite can form limestone
What is a grainy form of limestone called?
oolite
How do stalactites in limestone caverns most likely form?
The limestone caverns themselves are formed by groundwater gradually dissolving the limestone rock. In this process, some of the limestone is taken into solution, and under favourable conditions, it will form a drip on the roof of a cavern. This may eventually build to form a stalactite above, and perhaps also a stalagmite below it.
