How limestone turns to marble?
Extreme heat and pressure.
How does limestone change into marble?
Limestone change into marble when a great heat and pressure come from the under of the earth change into marble
What was marble before it was altered by heat and pressure?
Limestone.
What metamorphic rock does limestone turn into after heat and pressure?
marble
Why is limestone referred to as the parent rock of marble?
Marble is formed by the metamorphosis of limestone (by heat and pressure). Therefore limestone may be called the parent rock (or more correctly the protolith) of marble.
How limestone turns to marble?
Extreme heat and pressure.
Is marble polished limestone?
No. Marble is metamorphosed limestone, recrystallized from heat, pressure, or both.
What does marble metemorphosize from?
Limestone/chalk. Limestone has been subjected to heat and/or pressure, it metamorposes into marble. Both limestone and marble are calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Its just that the internal physical structure of limestone is altered.
What is the different between marble and lime stone?
Marble is a type of limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, typically composed of calcium carbonate fossils. Marble is a metamorphic rock, which has been subjected to heat and extreme pressure.
Which rock was probably was changed into marble by the addition of heat and pressure?
Limestone was probably metamorphed into marble.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that was originally?
By definition a metamorphic rock has undergone recrystallization without melting - that requires a lot of heat and pressure. Marble is a metamorphic rock - it is recrystallized limestone or dolostone.
How does limestone change into marble?
Limestone change into marble when a great heat and pressure come from the under of the earth change into marble
What was marble before it was altered by heat and pressure?
Limestone.
How does limestone form into marble?
pressure, heat, time
What is marble from?
Marble is formed when limestone or dolostone is subjected to heat and pressure deep beneath the surface, so marble is formed from limestone or dolostone.
Is marble a folliated metamorphic rock?
Yes due to it being under pressure and heat. Metamorphic rock is rock that has been transformed chemically and/or physically due to extreme heat and pressure. Marble qualifies because it is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, typically dolomite and/or calcite (think limestone) that has been transformed by the heat and pressure present when it was deep in the crust
What two conditions tuned limestone into marble?
Heat and pressure
