The most common material that chalkboards are made out of is porcelain enamel. More information about chalkboards can be found at http://www.answers.com/topic/chalkboard
Chalk is composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is calcium carbonate or CaCO3.
Fine-grained, white limestone
Chalk does not belong to a rock group. Chalk is a type of sedimentary rock composed mainly of the mineral calcite.
Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created from stratification by the layering of materials on one another which then get compacted and cemented by sedimentation process over long period of time. The whole process of formation of sedimentary rocks from sediment is called Diagnesis. Examples of sedimentary rocks are limestone, chalk, and sandstone.
Tailor's chalk is a type of chalk that is designed to make temporary markings on cloth. Using this chalk, a tailor can mark where fabric needs to be cut or garments altered. Once the markings are no longer useful, they can be easily brushed off or washed out, leaving no residue behind.

They are both organic sedimentary rocks.

It depends on what you mean by βtheseβ. If you are referring to the sticks of chalk used for writing or drawing, then yes, we can say they are chalk, or at least they are made of a similar substance. However, if you are referring to the type of soft white rock that is composed mostly of tiny fragments of the calcite shells or skeletons of plankton, then no, we cannot say they are chalk, because they are not natural rocks, but manufactured products. Chalk is a fine-textured, earthy type of limestone distinguished by its light color, softness, and high porosity. Chalk is also the name of a series of strata consisting mainly of chalk. I hope this helps. π
All types of rock can be weathered if near enough to the surface.
Used Clay to make beautiful pots and to decorate the pots they rubbed rocks together making paint/chalk stuff and used there hands to spread the paint/chalk. they would but it near the fire and around12 hours near the fire it would be hard as a rock and they would use it to carry corn and water and stuff
because chalk is a type of rock which crumbles.
