Is basalt igneous sedimentary metamorphic?
Basalt is an igneous rock . . . it is pretty much hardened lava.
What kind of rock is NOT an example of metamorphic rock?
Alot of them. Basalt, Granite, sandstone, siltstone etc
What type of rock was the metamorphic rock schist formed from?
Probably the metamorphic rock phyllite.
Type of rock formed by heating and squeezing other rocks?
metamorphic.
What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic rock formed from basalt?
Schist
What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)
What rock does basalt become after metamorphosis?
A metamorphic rock formed from Basalt is Schist. a.k.a. Green Schist

What is the difference between a igneous rock and basalt?

Is basalt igneous sedimentary metamorphic?
Basalt is an igneous rock . . . it is pretty much hardened lava.
What type of rock is greenstone?
Greenstone is the rock that has characteristics of both igneous and metamorphic rock.When you break this rock you will see the basaltic composition but it is formed when a basalt is subjected to a different temperature and pressure.
Metamorphic rock formed from sandstone?
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone.
What are 2 metamorphic minerals formed along oceanic ridges?
Minerals are not classified as metamorphic. The mid-oceanic ridges are generally considered to be areas where new basaltic crust is formed from uprising magma. The basalt is considered an igneous rock in classification.
