Not really. The growth rate for limestone is measured in geological ages.
Limestone is a nonrenewable resource everyone so use your limestone wisely ! (:

I think it's not renewable because if we use all the limestone in the world we wont have any left to know how to make it on our own, but it may be renewable cause it is made from our planet Earth. +++ I'm not sure I can follow that first answer. It is not renewable. Although new limestone is being formed in various places around the world, the rate of deposition and lithification, let alone uplift, is far lower than that of our removal of existing rock.
the answere to this question is corn, some watermlon,and soy beans
Any of the minerals which are processed in bulk like coal, limestone. gravel.
Iron ore, lead, limestone, and coal are some of Missouri's non-renewable natural resources. Small amounts of oil and gas can also be found in Missouri.
yes it is, it can be crushed and reprocess into alternative building materials
Yes it is because it takes a long time to form (Redirected from Renewable resources)Jump to: navigation, searchA natural resource qualifies as a renewable resource if it is replenished by natural processes at a rate comparable or faster than its rate of consumption by humans. Solar radiation, tides, winds and hydroelectricity are perpetual resourcesthat are in no danger of long-term availability. Renewable resources may also mean commodities such as wood, paper, and leather, if harvesting is performed in a sustainable manner. Limestone is considered to be a nonrenewable resource because the amount of time taken to form the limestone used is much longer than the rate at which humans use it. This is essentially the same concept as with oil- that is, oil can in fact be replenished, but the amount of time it takes is unreasonable is comparison to usage.
It IS renewable in the sense that volcanic forces are always creating new rocks and stones deep within the earth. However, since it takes millinia for formation and exposure on the surface of the earth, it is considered to be non-renewable. It simply takes too long for stone to form to be considered a renewable natural resource.
concrete is formed from limestone by the combustion of the limestone (heating of the limestone)!
Limestone and limestone formations.
The common name for limestone is simply "limestone".
