Which type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels?
Contact Metamorphism
What metamorphic rock forms from sandstone?
Quartzite is the metamorphic rock that forms from sandstone. During the process of metamorphism, the sandstone is subjected to heat and pressure, causing the grains to recrystallize and fuse together, resulting in the formation of quartzite.
What is the primary cause of change in regional metamorphism?
dirt
How does change granite into sandstone?
Granite becomes Sandstone when water erodes the Granite on Earths surface, and then deposits the sediment.
What are the 4 types of metamorphism?
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
What kind of rock is produced when sedimentary sandstone undergoes metamorphism?
quartizite
What aligns in parallel bands do to added pressure on a rock during metamorphism?
sandstone.:)
During the intrusion of the Palisades Sill contact metamorphism changed sandstone and shale into what?
Hornfels
Which two kinds of adjoining bedrock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism between them?
shale and sandstone
Which two kinds of adjoining bedrock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism?
shale and sandstone
How does sandstone gets converted to quartzite?
Quartzite is the metamorphic product of sandstone. During metamorphism, intense heat and/or pressure cause the quartz grains contained in the sandstone grow and recrystallize, interlocking together creating Quartzite.

Quartzite is the metamorphic rock that forms from sandstone. During the process of metamorphism, the sandstone is subjected to heat and pressure, causing the grains to recrystallize and fuse together, resulting in the formation of quartzite.
What two properties of rock change during metamorphism?
The properties of temperature and pressure both change when rocks undergo metamorphism. Re-crystallization and chemical reactions also occur during metamorphism.
What physical change in metamorphic rock signals the end of metamorphism?
from what i know there is no physical change that signals the end of metamorphism but there is a physical change during the process of metamorphism. during metamorphism the shape of the rock changes due to force of stress this is a physical change. (a physical change is when the shape or composition ofa substance e.g. rock has changed). by the way i am only 12
What is the most important agent(s) of metamorphism?
Metamorphism is the change in the structure or composition of rocks. The most important agents of metamorphism are heat and pressure.
