Rock have three type classification:

1) physical.
2) chemical.
3) as per strata.

Marble is metamorphic as per physical classification.
Marble is calcareous as per chemical classifica tion.
Marble is foliated as per Stratawise classification.

Rocks have 3 types of classifications.

1. Geological- igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic.
2. Physical- stratified, unstratified,
3. Chemical- calcareous, silicious, Argillaceous.

Geological classifications.
Physical.
Chemical.

chemically, Marble is calcareous.

Geologically it is metamorphic which converts into lime stone CaO.

Marble is geologically Metamorphic Rock (made from metamorphic action of sedimentary limestone).

Chemically marble is calcareous rock.

Chemically marble is a calcareous rock. And geologically marble is metamorphic rock. Physically marble is unstratified rock.

Geologically marble is metamorphic rocks.

Chemically marble is calcaerous having CaCO3 or limes as their major constituent.

Karan said:   1 decade ago
Calcareous are the sedimentary rocks, partly composed of calcium carbonate (i.e. containing lime or being chalky).

Marble firstly calcareous rock then metamorphic rock. Limestone with metamorphic action makes marble.

Bakesh said:   8 years ago
Marble is metamorphic rock. But over question wise chemically classification it's calcareous.
