Not a helpful question - unclear meaning.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock and the exposure or burial of any given limestone formation depends on its regional, subsequent geological processes.

It is also soluble in weakly-acid ground-water, giving rise to karst lansdcapes and features.

As for "use" by humans, it has long been quarried for various purposes by both open-cast and underground techniques.
