Limestone is relatively brittle and can break or fracture under pressure or impact. Its strength varies depending on factors like composition, density, and grain size; some types can withstand significant stress, while others may break easily. Weathering and erosion can also weaken limestone over time, making it more susceptible to breakage. Overall, while not as strong as some other rock types, limestone can be durable in certain conditions but remains vulnerable to mechanical forces.
