The rock limestone
can be classified as a
sedimentary rock.
The first reason rock is
white and has layers or
sediment that have
been compacted and
cemented together.
Next you can observe
bits of minerals are
glued together to form
solid rock. Lastly
limestone is formed in
oceans where other
organic matter exists.
They have hard
skeletons and shells
that can be made into
the rock limestone.
Since limestone forms in
layers that are compacted
together by sediment it
has the properties of a
sedimentary rock.
According to my evidence
this supports the claim
that limestone is classified
as a sedimentary rock.
Limestone can be
classified as a
sedimentary rock.
-Observations: rock
formed layers of white
sediment compacted
together it appears to
have bits of living
organisms inside.
- “Cementation occurs
when mineral growth
glues sediment grains
together into solid
rock.” Pg 137
(textbook)
- “Limestone forms in
the ocean, where many
living things, such as
coral, clams, and
oysters, have hard
shells or skeletons
made of
calcite.”(Sedimentary

(So What?)
The rock limestone can be
used to make buildings
and is important for use in
our daily life. Limestone
is crushed and can be used
along with other rocks to
make asphalt roads and
sidewalks.
In conclusion the rock
limestone that is classified
as a sedimentary rock and
without it other rocks and
materials would have to
be used to make asphalt
