Melbourne property prices have passed Sydney as the nation's fastest growing, although they still lagged well behind in terms of absolute cost. Melbourne's year-on-year dwelling price growth of 11 per cent is the nation's fastest. Sydney's annual property price growth of 10.5 per cent is the slowest in 29 months. Less than half the properties auctioned in Sydney over the weekend sold.
How Is Chalk Formed. Chalk is a soft, white, porous sedimentary rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. It forms under relatively deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite plates (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores. It is common to find flint and chert nodules embedded in chalk.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification (cementing, compacting, and hardening) of existing rock or the bones, shells, and pieces of formerly living things. Rocks are weathered and eroded into tiny particles which are then transported and deposited along with other pieces of rock called sediments.e know that all three rock types can be turned into metamorphic rocks but all three types can also be changed through the rock cycle. All rocks can be weathered and eroded into sediments, which can then form sedimentary rock. Rocks can also be completely melted into magma and become reincarnated as igneous rock.
