Because of their chemical makeup, when the rocks are exposed to carbon dioxide, they react to form common limestone and chalk in a process called mineral carbonation. Some also occur in the interior, including Montana. Combining rocks and carbon dioxide could provide an added benefit, as Krevor points out.
