Fine Art Sian: This is called lithification. Accumulation of lime is at present taking place in the Bahamas and the Persian Gulf, but in the past warm seas were much more extensive and limestone was produced over large areas. Chalk is made of countless small shells so minute that they can be seen only with a microscope. Seawater contains large amounts of salts and. if it is evaporated, they are precipitated out as lime is precipitated in a kettle. In tropical areas where hot, dry winds blow over shallow seas, much of the water is evaporated and lime forms on the sea-floor, hardening to a fine art siangrained limestone [4], If there is a partially enclosed basin, then not only lime but salts such as gypsum will be precipitated.
