Limestone soil is the soil created by the gradual breakdown of rocky limestone banks and outcroppings into a highly alkaline soil. Most plants typically do not grow well in limestone soil, but there are a few which do well.

What type of rock is found in the burren?
As the Burren is a karst-landscape made up of exposed limestone bedrock, most of the rock found in the area is limestone.
When limestone is exposed to intense heat and pressure it becomes what metamorphic rock?
Marble.
If limestone was crushed what would it do to the rate of reaction between an acid and the limestone?
If the limestone was crushed the reaction would speed up because the limestone would have a larger surface area available to react with the acid.
Which metamorphic rock is formed from marble?
Limestone is typically the product of accumulated decomposed marine life as it settles to the bottom of a body of water.This sedimentary rock, laid down in earlier geological ages, is the starting material for marble.When limestone is exposed to geological pressure and heat, it changes (metamorphosizes) into marble.The metamorphic stone known as marble is highly alkaline, like limestone, but is far less porous (permeable), and much denser and harder.Marble quarries are areas of the earth that were once sea bottoms, then were exposed, through tectonic plate activity, to great heat and pressure.
What are known Limestone health hazards?
Silica dust is dangerous.
How was the burren created?
The Burren was made from years of weathering to create an area of exposed limestone bedrock.
What type of rock is found in the burren?
As the Burren is a karst-landscape made up of exposed limestone bedrock, most of the rock found in the area is limestone.
How is limestone pavement formed?

When limestone is exposed to intense heat and pressure it becomes what metamorphic rock?
Marble.
How does limestone break?
Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock that is used often as a building material. It is broken down by erosion from being exposed to acidic conditions.
What physical and chemical weathering changes could limestone be exposed to in the future?
erosion, acid rain...
What happens if people are exposed to limestone?
Limestone, or calcium carbonate, is entirely harmless in solid form, and exposure will not affect people in any way. However, if you inhale limestone dust, it will irritate the lungs, as does any kind of dust.
What is the name of the area from which limestone is extracted?
quarry
