island that are made up of limestone
What type of rock is the great sphinx of Giza?
LIMESTONE
Where do you get limestone?
Limestone can be found in many parts of the world and is usually mined in surface quarries.
What were pyramid stones made of?
The great pyramid was built with limestone blocks and the others used some granite blocks.
Did Egyptians use limestone for tools?
Limestone is too soft for use as tools. The Egyptians built monument out of limestone using tools made of harder stone - Flint, granite, etc. (and some copper tools)

What is the full cycle of limestone?
The limstone cycle: 1. Limstone (CaCO3) - Heat limestone to produce quicklime 2. Quicklime (CaO) - Add a few drops of water to produce slaked lime 3. Slake lime (Ca(OH)2(s)) - Add excess water to produce Limewater 4. Limewater (Ca(OH)3(aq) ) - Bubble CO2 gas into limewater to produce limestone This is called a cycle because it happens again and again...
How does the carbon in limestone get back into the atmosphere?
Carbon from limestone returns to the atmosphere through the process of weathering. Rainwater and carbonic acid break down the limestone, releasing carbon dioxide into the air. This process is a natural part of the carbon cycle.
Which item is a carbon sink and not part of the carbon cycle?
Carbon found within limestone rocks.
What part of the rock cycle is marble?
Marble is formed from the metamorphism of limestone, a sedimentary rock. This process involves the recrystallization of the calcium carbonate minerals present in limestone under high temperature and pressure conditions. Marble is an example of a metamorphic rock in the rock cycle.
Is limestone part of the carbon-oxygen cycle?
There is not pure oxygen in limestone, however any silica tetrahedrons in it contain 1 silicon and 4 oxygen molecules each. It is primarily comprised of CaCO3 - i.e., 3 Oxygens per Calcium Carbonate molecule. also known as mineral calcite.
How does water in the spaces of a limestone cause physical weathering of the limestone?
Water in the spaces of limestone can cause physical weathering through a process called freeze-thaw. When water seeps into the cracks and pores of the limestone, it freezes and expands upon freezing, exerting pressure on the surrounding rock. This expansion and contraction cycle weakens the limestone, causing it to crack and break apart over time.
What became compressed to form limestone?
Sediment. Sediment is eroded igneous, metamorphic or other sedimentary rock. This is all part of the rock cycle.
What biogeochemical cycles are dependent on the rock cycle?
The phosphorus cycle is dependent on the rock cycle because phosphorus is released from rocks through weathering processes, entering the biogeochemical cycle. Similarly, the calcium cycle is also linked to the rock cycle as calcium is stored in rocks like limestone and released through weathering. Additionally, the sulfur cycle interacts with the rock cycle as sulfur compounds in rocks can be released through weathering and volcanic activity.
How is concrete formed from limestone?
concrete is formed from limestone by the combustion of the limestone (heating of the limestone)!
What is limestone cave formed of?
Limestone and limestone formations.
What type of organic limestone?
Organic limestone, also known as biogenic limestone, is primarily formed from the accumulation of biological debris, such as shells, coral, and other calcareous organisms. This type of limestone is typically found in marine environments where conditions promote the growth and deposition of these organisms. The most common varieties include chalk, composed of microscopic coccolithophores, and coquina, made up of shell fragments. Organic limestone plays a significant role in the carbon cycle and can also serve as an important resource in construction and industry.
