Marble is the metamorphic rock formed 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.
Why are the textures and weight different from limestone and marble?
