Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite.

Marble is formed from limestone when the limestone is affected by heat and high pressure during a process known as metamorphism. During metamorphism the calcite limestone recrystallizes, forming the interlocking calcite crystals that make up the marble.

Marble is a metamorphic rock resultinh from regional metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks like limestone or dolostone. This metamorphic process causes a complete recrystallization of original rock, the temperature and presdire conditions help in formation of the marble.

Limestone is changed into marble because Igneous and sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic rocks under great heat and pressure For example , clay changes into slate.

Hello everybody, I really don't understand how can teaching online be effective and impactive? I strongly feel face to face teaching with physical presence is the best way to teach if you want to see good results. As online teaching may have a lot of issues mainly internet connectivity, time lag, limited teaching methodologies, etc. Please correct me if I'm wrong and do share your thoughts, to enlighten me. Thanks
