Which rock could be formed either by deposition of animal shells and skeletons or by precipitation from evaporating seawater?

Limestone is a rock that can be formed through the accumulation of animal shells and skeletons, called biogenic limestone, or through the precipitation of calcium carbonate from evaporating seawater, known as chemical limestone.


What type of rocks are an accumulation of particles (either clastic or chemical rocks)?

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of particles, which can be either clastic or chemical in nature. Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of fragments of other rocks and minerals, while chemical sedimentary rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from solution. Both types result from processes like erosion, deposition, and lithification. Examples include sandstone (clastic) and limestone (chemical).


What is Changing between one state of matter to another state of matter called?

I think it can be classified as either a Chemical Reaction. Or an Endothermic reaction. I may not be understanding the correct queston though.


Sedimentary rocks are usually classified as?

Sedimentary rocks are classified as either clastic (composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks), chemical (formed from mineral precipitation), or organic (derived from the remains of plants and animals). These classifications help to understand how the rock was formed and its origin.


How are igneous rocks classified acording to their..?

Igneous rocks are classified by either being intrusive or extrusive, then mafic or felsic then they are classified by either fine grain or course grained textures.

Is limestone classified as a granite or a sandstone?

Limestone is not classed as either a granitoid or a sandstone rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, either chemically precipitated or bioclastic in origin. Granite is a plutonic igneous rock, and sandstone, although sedimentary, is formed from the cementation of sand-sized particles of eroded rock.


What rock can be a chemical or organic rock?

Limestone is a type of rock that can be either chemical or organic in nature. Chemical limestone is formed through the precipitation of calcium carbonate, while organic limestone is made up of the remains of marine organisms like shells and coral.

How does acid rain affect limestone structures?

Acids have a corrosive effect on limestone or marble buildings or sculptures. It is well established that either wet or dry deposition of sulfur dioxide significantly increases the rate of corrosion on limestone, sandstone, and marble. sulfur dioxide plus water makes sulfurous acid.
