Which metamorphic rock is formed by the transformation of limestone under high pressure and high temperature?
Marble
Marble, a symbol of purity and durability, is the result of a profound metamorphosis of limestone. This transformation, under the combined effect of pressure and temperature, gives marble its distinctive crystalline texture. Valued since antiquity for sculpture and architecture, marble embodies beauty emerging from the strength of geological processes. Marble quarries, such as those in Carrara, Italy, have provided the raw material for timeless masterpieces.
