Is chalk harder than limestone?
No, Limestone is harder than chalk.
What type of rock is worn away by weak acid in water to create a cave?
gabbro
What type of texture does gabbro have?
Gabbro is coarse textured.
Can gabbro contain the moneral quartz?
Although gabbro is low in silica and has no quartz there are quartz gabbro's. Quartz gabbro's are thought to occur from magma that was over-saturated with silica.
What is a form of calcium carbonate softer than marble but harder than chalk?
Limestone is softer than marble, but harder than chalk.
Is chalk harder than limestone?

What type of rock is worn away by weak acid in water to create a cave?
gabbro
Is granite harder than limestone?
Yes
Is dolomitic limestone same as agricultural limestone or horticultural hydrated limestone?
dolomitic limestone is different from agricultural or hydrated limestone the difference is in the MgO content and hardness Dolomitic Limestone is harder than both and its MgO content is higher. The CaO is lower in Dolomitic limestone and High in the later.
Is a gabbro a mineral?
Gabbro is a rock
Which is harder limestone or clay?
Limestone would be potentially harder until the clay is fired. The problem we have here is that "clay" is an ambiguous term. There is no homogenous or standard formula for clay. However, clays can generally be formed and baked to become set and hard. This is called firing. Fired clay tends to be quite hard, and depending on the formula, might be harder than limestone.
What rock is formed when limestone is metamorphosed?
Marble is formed when limestone is metamorphosed. This process occurs when the mineral calcite in limestone recrystallizes due to heat and pressure, resulting in a denser, harder rock with a crystalline structure.
What type of texture does gabbro have?
Gabbro is coarse textured.
Is gabbro volcanic?
No. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock.
What is a form of calcium carbonate softer than marble but harder than chalk?
Limestone is softer than marble, but harder than chalk.
