Most chalk was formed in the Cretaceous period, from about 138 million to 65 million years ago.
they are both rocks but both formed different ways chalk is formed by dead sea creatures skeleltons build up to form chalk and limestone is formed by shells and very littke amounts of mud and sand
When you put chalk in vinegar the chalk is dissolved and broken down. However, as a result of the mixture of compounds co2 is formed.
due to capillary action water raises in chalk.. and the air in it comes out in form of bubbles...
Limestone and chalk.
Chalk formed from sediments made of skeletions of microscopic living things in the ocean must be a(n) organic rock.
Chalk is calcium carbonate. Cola is an acid. When these two compounds mixed, hydrogen carbonate is formed. This compound is water soluble, and thus chalk mixed with and acid like cola dissolves in water.
Limestone and chalk.
Chalk forms from the deep marine accumulation of the plates of organisms called coccolithophores. The plates are composed of the mineral calcite.
cretaceous
yes
Limestone and chalk are formed from organic material Limestone - Clastic shell fragments Chalk - Microscopic shells of calicum carbonate plates formed by single celled algaes Chert - Microscopic siliceous organisms, recrystallized silica
