Limestone is primarily formed from the accumulation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) through biological processes and sedimentation, rather than from high pressure. However, geological processes that contribute to the formation of limestone can involve pressures of around 3000 to 5000 psi (pounds per square inch) over millions of years, which can cause the compaction and cementation of sediments. This pressure is typically associated with the burial of sediments over time rather than a direct requirement for limestone formation.

Which metamorphic rock is formed from marble?

Limestone is typically the product of accumulated decomposed marine life as it settles to the bottom of a body of water.This sedimentary rock, laid down in earlier geological ages, is the starting material for marble.When limestone is exposed to geological pressure and heat, it changes (metamorphosizes) into marble.The metamorphic stone known as marble is highly alkaline, like limestone, but is far less porous (permeable), and much denser and harder.Marble quarries are areas of the earth that were once sea bottoms, then were exposed, through tectonic plate activity, to great heat and pressure.
