Limestone and chalk.

Sally found 109381 sea shells on the sea shore.
How were the chalk cliffs of Dover formed?
The chalk cliffs of Dover were formed during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70 million years ago, when the region was submerged under a shallow sea. The accumulation of tiny marine organisms' shells, primarily coccolithophores, deposited layers of chalk over time. Geological processes, including tectonic uplift and erosion, eventually exposed these chalk deposits, creating the striking white cliffs we see today. The cliffs continue to be shaped by natural erosion from wind and sea.
What are the little blue shells that you find on sea rock?
The dark blue clumps of oval shaped shells are called mussels.
Which of these landforms would easily eroded?
Sea cliffs composed of clay or chalk are susceptible to erosion and the loss of land to the encroaching sea.
How is chalk produced?
chalk is produced by the shells of sea creatures lying on the sea bed and then the pressure of the water pushing the shells together until they form stone
Which sea animal makes chalk tubes on stones and shells?
The sea animal that makes chalk tubes on stones and shells is barnacles. Barnacles will attach themselves to whatever is handy and multiply very fast.
What type of sedimentary rock formed from the remains of coral and sea shells?
Limestone and chalk.
Where does chalk com from?
Chalk is a soft, white, porous limestone composed mainly of calcium carbonate. It forms over millions of years from the shells of tiny sea creatures called coccolithophores that settle to the bottom of the ocean. These shells accumulate and are compressed to form the chalk rock we use.
Do sea anemones have shells?
sea anemones do not have shells !
What is limestone and chert?
Limestone is a boigenic rock. It is formed as a byproduct of living things, frequently it is made from the calcareous skeletons of living creatures. If we take the Chalk as a limestone, this was made in a warm shallow sea from the shells of microscopic plankton as they died and sank to the sea floor. However along with the calcareous shells, there were also shells of diatomic plankton which are made out of silicon dioxide (quartz). After deposition as the chalk was compacted by the overlying sediments that were laid down on top of it and it became buried, the water it contained became heated and the skeletons of the silicious diatoms dissolved in the water and then were redeposited as layers of "Chert" or "Flint" in the Chalk.
What are egg shells made out of?
The main ingredient in eggshells is calcium carbonate (the same brittle white stuff that chalk, limestone, cave stalactites, sea shells, coral, and pearls are made of). The shell itself is about 95% CaCO3 (which is also the main ingredient in sea shells). The remaining 5% includes calcium phosphate and magnesium carbonate and soluble and insoluble proteins.
How many sea shells did sally find?

In the poem She shells sea shells by the sea shore?
The poem "She shells sea shells by the sea shore" is a tongue twister that plays with alliteration and repetition. It is a fun and challenging sentence to say quickly due to its repetitive consonant sounds. The phrase showcases the poet's creativity and ability to manipulate language for a playful effect.
How is chalk formed?
Chalk forms from the deep marine accumulation of the plates of organisms called coccolithophores. The plates are composed of the mineral calcite.
What is happening in the ocean?
Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can become dissolved in the ocean forming an acid called carbonic acid. This acid results from carbon dioxide combining with water and this also contributes to the acidity of soda. The increased acidity of the ocean makes it more difficult for animals and corals to form shells which are made of calcium carbonate, the same material as chalk since calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. As a experiment, try adding lemon juice to a little piece of chalk or chalk powder. You can see how the acid from the lemon juice dissolves the chalk and bubbles from this. These bubbles are carbon dioxide and that the chalk or chalk powder disappears. This reaction happens to a much slower extent to seashells or the shells that corals try to form making more difficult for corals and certain other sea creatures.
