Answer:

Marble is a type of rock. It is a metamorphic rock , which means rock which as changed it texture or shape or color over the time. These rocks are formed usually by uniting already existing substances on the earth. Limestone is the naturally available stone , which when undergoes metamorphosis turns into the formation of marble. Marble forms when the hot magma heats the limestone , the heat recrystallizes the calcite in the limestone changing its texture, shape etc.
