Where do you get limestones from?

Answer 1

Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) and Magnesium. Most limestone forms from the skeletal remains of various algae, phytoplanton, and shellfish.

it can also be made into fireplaces and all sorts of stuff . :)

Answer 2

Lime stone can come from rivers, when it gets compacted together.
limestone is calcium carbonate which comes from sea shells that are compressed together when the northern hemisphere was an ocean

Answer 3

• The hard shells of living things produce some kinds of limestone. How dopes limestone form? Limestone forms in the ocean, many living things, including coral, clams, oysters, and snails, have shells or skeletons made of calcite. There shells pile up as sediments on the ocean floor. It turns into calcite cement after millions of years which pieces together forming limestone. Limestone is also known as chalk.
• Over time coral buried by sediments will form into limestone (like the animal shells).
• And then get processed in a quarry and used by us

Answer 4

Limestones are typically formed by the accumulation of calcareous marine organisms such as corals and shellfish over millions of years. They can be found in sedimentary rock deposits, often in areas that were once covered by oceans or shallow seas. Limestones are quarried from the earth's surface and then crushed and processed for various applications such as construction and agriculture.

Answer 5
