The word chalk comes from the Latin word âcalxâ. We get chalk from limestone. Most of the chalk you find today was made almost 60 to 100 million years ago. It is chemically made of calcium carbonate.
Chalk may be used for its properties as a base. In agriculture, chalk is used for raising pH in soils with high acidity. The most common forms are CaCO 3 (calcium carbonate) and CaO (calcium oxide).halk may be used for its properties as a base. In agriculture, chalk is used for raising pH in soils with high acidity.
