Geologists can confirm that rock towers are made of limestone by applying dilute hydrochloric acid to a rock sample. If the rock fizzes or produces bubbles, indicating a reaction with calcium carbonate, it confirms the presence of limestone. This simple test provides insight into the geological composition of the area.
