Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Most limestones actually start as calcium carbonate mud or shells precipitated by organisms in reefs or shallow shelf regions - the biosphere. Over time, the limestone is broken down into its chemical parts and may come back to the surface as volcanic CO2 (in the atmosphere).
