Metamorphosed limestone or dolomite. Calcium, Carbon, Oxygen, Magnesium (dolomitic marble only).
Marble is composed of crystals of the mineral calcite, CaCO3.
The major coponent of marble is chalk.
Mainly calcite, with a some impurities.
Ca
Marble is composed mainly of the mineral calcite, but because of the presence of other minerals, marble is a rock, not a mineral.
Marble is primarily composed of the mineral calcite.
The parent rock of marble can be composed of calcite or dolomite. Thus, it can be one of several rock types, often limestone (though it can conceivably also be dolomite or travertine, etc.). Limestone is considered to be the most common parent rock of marble. Since it is composed of calcite, it can be tested with dilute hydrochloric acid. If it bubbles, it is composed of calcite, and is probably marble.
Gneiss is the metasized form of marble, i think :P
limestone and marble
Marble is a metamorphic rock which is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals.
Marble is composed mainly of the mineral calcite, but because of the presence of other minerals, marble is a rock, not a mineral.
Marble is primarily composed of the mineral calcite.
Marble is in the carbonate mineral group. Limestone and dolomite are also in the carbonate mineral group. Marble is formed from limestone.
Marble is a type of metamorphic rock, composed primarily of the mineral calcite or dolomite.

marble
Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolomite, and is predominately calcitic in composition. Marble usually forms from regional metamorphism associated with plate collisions.
The chemical formula for marble is CaCO3, which stands for calcium carbonate.
No, marble is not a metal. Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that is composed primarily of calcite or dolomite minerals. Metals, on the other hand, are elements that have properties such as luster, conductivity, and malleability.
Yes, marble is a metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of limestone, which is a sedimentary rock, under high heat and pressure conditions.
