References for this section. Limestone pavement is a habitat with a high geological interest. Forms of limestone pavement can be found in many places in the world, especially in Alpine and Mediterranean areas, but these lack the distinctive surface patterning seen on British pavements.imestone is a hard sedimentary rock consisting of calcium carbonate, formed by the deposition of plant and animal remains on the sea floor and is thus known as a calcareous rock. Limestones often contain the visible remains (fossils) of shells and corals.
During periods of glaciation, glacial abrasion has scraped away the topsoil to expose the bare rock underneath. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is made up of horizontal cracks called bedding planes and vertical cracks called joints.Limestone is made of Calcium Carbonate which is dissolved by rainfall which is a weak acid. This process is called chemical weathering.As a result of these features water is able to seep down through the cracks and into the rock making it seem to disappear. Therefore limestone is said to be a permeable rock.A limestone pavement is formed when rain water seeps through the joints and dissolves the limestone on each side making the joint wider.uring periods of glaciation, glacial abrasion has scraped away the topsoil to expose the bare rock underneath. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is made up of horizontal cracks called bedding planes and vertical cracks called joints.
