Limestone formed from the build up of sediment from the remains of sea creatures, which became stuck together to form this sedimentary rock. Chemically, limestone is almost entirely calcium carbonate. Knowing the chemical nature of limestone can help us to understand some of its reactions, especially the lime cycle. Limestone is widely used in the building trade, not just as the raw stone but also to make cement and concrete. Although limestone is very useful as a raw material, it must be noted that limestone quarries cause environmental problems. A balance is needed between exploiting this valuable resource and damage to the countryside and people's lives. As we will consider, it is sometimes difficult to achieve this.
