Answer:
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed by the alteration of limestone by heat and pressure. The calcite in the limestone changes and fossils and layering in the original limestone disappear as interlocking grains grow. If the limestone is pure, a white marble is formed.

Answer:
Limestone is an example of sedimentary rock. When subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it gets converted into marble, a metamorphic rock. This is a continuous process given more temperatures and pressure the rock may melt completely and would eventually turn into and igneous rock that will get eroded and become limestone again.
