Which rock is similar to limestone?

Answer 1

Limestone, broadly classified as a sedimentary rock, can be a chemical sedimentary (formed from the precipitation of calcite in saturated sea water or lakes) or bioclasticsedimentary (formed from the shells and body parts of marine organisms which have been cemented together).

Answer 2

Limestone, a sedimentary rock wholly or in large part composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It is ordinarily white but may be colored by impurities, iron oxide making it brown, yellow, or red and carbon making it blue, black, or gray.

Answer 3

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Many limestones are composed from skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera.

Limestone makes up about 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes, in which water erodes the limestone over thousands to millions of years. Most cave systems are through limestone bedrock.

Answer 4

That would be sedimentary.
