What kind of rock is formed by metamorphism of limestone or dolomite?
marble
What rock is formed when limestone goes under metamorphic change?
Marble is a rock formed by the metamorphism of limestone.
Where does marble rock come from?
Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolomite, and is predominately calcitic in composition. Marble usually forms from regional metamorphism associated with plate collisions.
What is dolomite made out of?
Dolomite is a type of limestone containing magnesium carbonate as well as the calcium carbonate of ordinary limestone. As with ordinary limestone, dolomite is a deposit of microscopic skeletons of dead plankton. When the plankton die their skeletons settle to the bottom of the ocean, forming a ooze that eventually solidifies. When mountain building activities raise this on the land we get limestone or dolomite.
What is the mineral present of marble?
marble is a metamorphic rock and was formed by regional or contact metamorphism it is a metamorphism of limestone and dolostone. the composition is calcite and/or limestone(sedimentry rock made od calcite)
What kind of rock is formed by metamorphism of limestone or dolomite?
marble
How are marbles formed?
Marble is formed through the metamorphism of limestone, and/or dolomite.

Marble is a type of - rock?
Marble is a metamorphic rock. It is formed from the metamorphism (recrystallization) of limestone or dolomite rock. From Ftmmachinery's passage about marble facts (blog/what-is-marble-rock.html), I know: Under the intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, the minerals in the limestone or dolomite undergo a process of transformation, resulting in the formation of marble. This process causes the original minerals to recrystallize, creating the characteristic crystalline structure and unique patterns and colors found in marble.
What is limestone to marble?
calcite and dolomite.
What is dolomite made out of?
Dolomite is a type of limestone containing magnesium carbonate as well as the calcium carbonate of ordinary limestone. As with ordinary limestone, dolomite is a deposit of microscopic skeletons of dead plankton. When the plankton die their skeletons settle to the bottom of the ocean, forming a ooze that eventually solidifies. When mountain building activities raise this on the land we get limestone or dolomite.
