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 rock is rock that is formed in layers by the depositing and pressing of sediments on top of each other. Sediments are any loose material that gets broken away and carried: pieces of rocks, pebbles, sand, clay, silt, boulders, dead organisms, animals, plants, shells, insects. . . .hen, over a long time, layers and layers of sediments get deposited on top of each other, the weight of the top layers presses down on the bottom layers, forming them into rock called sedimentary rock. The oldest layers are on the bottom, and the youngest layers are on the top.
