∙ 13y agoQuartzite is formed from a protolith of sandstone. The sandstone is exposed to a gradual increase in temperature and pressure from any of a number of sources, usually from depth of burial or plate movements. The small quartz grains in the sandstone recrystallize into larger interlocked crystals forming a much harder metamorphic rock.

Marble and quartzite are nonfoliated rocks because?
they form in the absense of different stress
What is metamorphic quartz sandstone?
Is a called a plate
What kind of soil would develop from quartzite and sandstone?
sandstone or quartzite is very hard stone i think there is no possibility that it can form a soil....because if undergo weather cycle it only form igneous rocks which is smaller and less harder than the original properties
