Calcite is an ionic salt called calcium carbonate or caco 3.
Marble chalk limestone.
Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from the recrystallization of limestone under high pressure and temperature.
Chalk is a soft white porous sedimentary carbonate rock a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite.
Therefore this mineral is highly alkaline.
This happens through a process called metamorphism which means the change in type.
Hence limestone gives birth to marble when transformed.
Whether chalk limestone dolomite or marble all carbonate rocks are subject to erosion.
These dissolve under the influence of wind temperature and water and the cycle is ready to start anew.
Marble is formed when the carbonate material in limestone gets recrystallized.
It mainly contains different crystal forms of calcium carbonate.
Metamorphic rocks are born when existing rock types are transformed physically chemically due to high temperatures and pressure.

The key difference between limestone and chalk is that the limestone contains both minerals calcite and aragonite whereas chalk is a form of limestone which contains calcite.
Chalk is a form of limestone.
Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock.
