Question

Limestone form as ocean water evaporates and leaves calcium carbonate behind, which is the deposited in the seabed. What type of rock can be formed this way?

Answer 1

Sedimentary rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Limestone form as ocean water evaporates and leaves calcium carbonate behind, which is then deposited in the seabed. Thus, the type of rock that can be formed this way is a sedimentary rock.

The texture of inorganic land-derived sedimentary rocks is fragmental or clastic. Sediments come from land to form inorganic sedimentary rocks.

Some examples of inorganic land-derived sedimentary rocks are conglomerate, brescia and sandstone.
