What three elements make up limestone formations?
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, and therefore contains the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen.
The dissolved materials in seawater are thought to originate from?
outgassing of elements from Earth's interior.
What elements are found in limestone chalk and shells?
The element calcium is found in all four items.
Can you find radioactive elements in a limestone mine?
apart from sun's rays, one of the major reason for heating up of earth surface is also due to the presence of natural radioactive elements in the earth so i think its good to get it removed and use it wisely.
What are the elements found in limestone?
Usually calcium carbonate in the form of calcite and or aragonite. There may also be clastic material (such as sand and silt grains) and fossilised shell fragments. Limestone also commonly contains the magnesium carbonate mineral dolomite - CaMg(CO3)2 to some extent.
What three elements make up limestone formations?
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, and therefore contains the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen.
True or false Most caves and caverns originate by solution of limestone?
True.
What two elements combine to from limestone?
The main component of limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). As you can see it is made of three elements not two. (Ca Calcium) (C Carbon) and (O Oxygen).
Why is a compound?
Limestone is a compound because it consists of two or more elements: CaCO3
Is limestone a pure substance or a mixture?
Pure substance
Is chalk the same as the rock limestone?
It is pretty much the same. Chalk and limestone are made of the same elements, but to to make chalk they change the limestone a bit. First they change the shape and then make it smooth. I hope that helps!
Which of the elements makes up limestone and marble?
Calcium, carbon and oxygen. The formula is CaCO3.
What did they use to build the pyramids of egypt?
Limestone, but is has mostly worn away because of the elements.
Where do most of the heavier elements in the universe originate?
in the outer layers of supernova
The dissolved materials in seawater are thought to originate from?
outgassing of elements from Earth's interior.
What elements are found in limestone chalk and shells?
The element calcium is found in all four items.
Is Limestone an element?
No, limestone is composed of various minerals (a material made up of a combination of atoms of various elements arranged in a specific atomic lattice to form crystals - as they are a mixture of varying elements they may also be referred to as compounds). The most common of which in Limestone is Calcite / Calcium Carbonate. Calcium Carbonate has the chemical formula CaCO3. From this we can see that limestone is formed predominantly from the elements Calcium (Ca), Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O). Please see the related links for more details.
