What else can I help you with?
Is basalt a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
Is basalt a metamorphic rock?
No, basalt is not a metamorphic rock. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from cooling and solidification of lava. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure, heat, or fluids.
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. :)
Basalt can change into what metamorphic rock?
When basalt undergoes metamorphism, it can change into a metamorphic rock called greenstone. Greenstone is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that forms from the alteration of basalt through metamorphic processes like recrystallization and the growth of new minerals.
Metamorphic rock formed from basalt?
Schist
Is basalt metamorphic?
Yes. Basalt is an extrusive mafic igneous rock.
Is basalt igneous sedimentary metamorphic?
Basalt is an igneous rock . . . it is pretty much hardened lava.
Is marble harder than basalt?
No, basalt is generally harder than marble. Basalt is a mafic extrusive rock that has a higher hardness and durability compared to marble, which is a metamorphic rock.
What kind of rock is NOT an example of metamorphic rock?
Alot of them. Basalt, Granite, sandstone, siltstone etc
A metamorphic rock formed from basalt?
Greenschist. It is schist
What rock type is a protolith of a metamorphic rock?
The protolith of a metamorphic rock can be any pre-existing rock type, such as shale, limestone, basalt, or granite. The type of metamorphic rock that forms from a protolith depends on factors like temperature, pressure, and the mineral composition of the protolith.
Witch rock is classified as a metamorphic rock?
basalt, marble, shale one of these just choose nice and simple right !
