What are the pro and cons of limestone?
Limestone is good for making building materials:Glass - limestone + sand + sodium carbonate heated to about 1500degrees CCement - limestone + sand heated in a rotary kilnConcrete - cement (from limestone) + sand + water + gravelMortar - calcium hydroxide (slaked lime = Limestone that has thermally decomposed to calcium oxide (quicklime) and then had water added to it) + sand + waterAll of these make useful building materials. Powdered limestone or slaked lime (see above) are also both alkaline substances, so are often used in fertiliser to neutralise acidic soil.However, we have to consider where we will obtain limestone from. The quarrying of limestone can have damaging social and environmental factors, although it would have positive economic factors.Social - increased noise pollution, increased traffic, less clean airEnvironmental - pollution caused by increased trafficEconomic - more jobs in the areaThen we have to consider the impact of making glass, cement, concrete and mortar out of limestone. For example, glass production requires a lot of energy to create enough heat.
What are the advantages of quarrying limestone?
AdvantagesLimestone is a valuable natural resource, used to make things such as glass and concrete that is used in everyday life.Limestone quarrying provides employment opportunities that support the local economy in towns around the quarry.Quarries can be used as lakes and other recreational areas afterward.The advantages of limestone quarrying are endless. It is readily avaible and very easy to cut into blocks. It is also very good in humid places as it is able to resist humidity very well. Furthermore, it is also very easy to cut and to sculpt so it is used a lot to make elaborate and difficult sculptures. So as you can see from these answers, there are many advantages of limestone quarrying and the limestone industry is very strong at present indeed.The advantages of limestone are that it is cheap and efficiant:)
Does metal expand when it is heated?
Yes, but it is hard to see unless the object is massive.
What kind of magma forms limestone?
Limestone is not formed from magma. Limestone is primarily formed from the accumulation of marine organisms such as shells and coral fragments. It is a sedimentary rock, not an igneous rock formed from magma.
Is limestone a foliated rock?
No. Foliation is a word used to describe metamorphic rocks that have undergone deformation which has caused an alignment of their crystals. Foliated rocks often appear to have "bands" of minerals. To find out more and to see a picture of a foliated rock - in this case a Gneiss, please see the related link.
What happen will acetic acid will put on limestone and heated?
The acetic acid will react with the limestone according to the following equation: CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2 You should see bubbles forming, which is the carbon dioxide escaping the solution of the reaction. When you add heat, the reaction should speed up.
What type of rock is Rock Of Gibraltar composed of?
The Rock of Gibraltar is made of limestone.
Which living thing has skeleton made of limestone?
They are like little fish fosils for an example if you find a limestone rock look at it and you will see bones
What were Egyptian pyramid made out of?
The core of the pyramids was made of coarse limestone, sandstone or some argue cement (that's what you see today). The casing stones were made of high quality white limestone

What is formed from the metamorphism of limestone?
My science teacher informed me on this very day the answer to the very question. I don't know if this is the answer to your exact question, but I believe it is close. Most people believe it is Granite, but it is not. The answer to your specific question is different. The real answer is actually marble. Think of it as a caterpillar. The caterpillar is the limestone, then the caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The butterfly would be the answer to your question.I hope that you have read this passage carefully, because if you just skimmed this, you may end up with a false answer. For if you read the entire passage, you will see what I am talking about

What two elements combine to from limestone?
The main component of limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). As you can see it is made of three elements not two. (Ca Calcium) (C Carbon) and (O Oxygen).
Why do many caverns form in limestone?
Because limestone is soluble and is comparatively easily dissolved by water which contains weak acids. Due to limestone's different features: it is pearmeable, it can be dissolved by slightly acidic water and yet it is very strong. Water can seep into the limestone then erode it, eventually forming a cave or cavern.
How would you test a rock to see if it is limestone?
You could conduct an acid test by applying a few drops of weak acid (such as vinegar) to the rock. If the rock is limestone, it will fizz or effervesce due to the reaction with the acid. Additionally, you could check the rock's physical properties, such as its color, hardness, and texture, which are characteristic of limestone.
