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
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between chalk and limestone considering they are both made up of calcium carbonate but form different geological features?
Chalk is a soft, porous rock composed of microscopic coccoliths, whereas limestone is a harder, more dense rock made up of larger calcium carbonate crystals. Chalk tends to form in marine environments with high biological productivity, while limestone forms in areas with high sedimentation rates and pressure.
What is the chemical formula of chalk?
Chalk is CaCO3. The chemical name for chalk is calcium carbonate. It is a porous sedimentary rock, and is also a type of limestone. The White Cliffs of Dover are actually made from chalk.
Is a chalk a base?

Calcium carbonate common name?
Calcium carbonate is commonly known as chalk, limestone, or marble.
What elements compounds make up limestone chalk and cement?
Limestone, chalk, and cement primarily consist of calcium carbonate. Limestone and chalk are composed mainly of this compound, while cement typically contains a mixture of calcium silicates, aluminates, and ferrites that are produced by heating limestone and other materials together.
What is the relationship between limestone marble and chalk?
Limestone, marble, and chalk are all types of sedimentary rocks composed mainly of calcite. Limestone is the precursor to marble when subjected to high pressure and temperature. Chalk is a softer form of limestone made up of microscopic marine organisms.

Is chalk sedimentary?
Yes,!! Chalk is fine grains of limestone compressed together and limestone is sedimentary, so chalk has to sedimentary.
Is chalk harder than limestone?
No, limestone is harder than chalk. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcite, whereas chalk is a soft, porous sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate.
Limestone is the chemical content of chalk?
Limestone and chalk, together with marble and egg shells, are both impure form of calcium carbonate. The impurites are different in each substance, but only in small/trace amounts.
What school supply is made of limestone?
Chalk is a school supply that is made of limestone. Limestone is ground into a fine powder and used to make chalk sticks which are commonly used on chalkboards.
What is the difference between chalk and sidewalk chalk?
Hello I deleted the answer... Your welcome DB
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!
What examples of a sedimentary rock are chalk and coal?
Chalk is a type of limestone. Limestone and coal are both organic sedimentary rocks.
What alkali is in chalk?

Limestone can make what?
