Yes. Since metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed through intense heat and pressure, they have been compacted and are more dense. For example, a conglomerate is a sedimentary rock comprised of large grains of gravel that have been cemented together, and can be porous. When a conglomerate undergoes massive heat and pressure, it is metamorphosed into a metaconglomerate, which is more dense and not at all porous.
because not all metamorphic rocks have interlocking grains i think! i was studying this topic and thought that this question was already answered but, i figured the answer out for myself! how cool is that! lol! ROFL! don't even know what ROFL is!
No. Generally, in unweathered specimens, metamorphic rocks would be less porous than sedimentary rock.
Yes, because it is crystalline (interlocking), therefore there is no space for the water to travel into.
Generally speaking, a body of metamorphic rock is not porous.
Sometimes but not always
Depends
Porous and Non-Porous
Some basalts can be quite porous, others may be non-porous.
Marble is the metamorphosed result of limestone. Therefore, marble is metamorphic.
i'm not sure there are "main" Metamorphic rock types
metamorphic
both
Non-porous rocks are solid materials that do not allow water or other fluids to pass through them due to the absence of interconnected pore spaces. This lack of porosity prevents the storage or movement of fluids within the rock, making them impermeable. Examples of non-porous rocks include granite, basalt, and marble.
Sorry but i only got 1 porous rock and 1 non-porous rock :)Porous rock = sandstonenon-porous rock =granite
Travertine might be called porous. Pumice might be considered metamorphic.
Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
Porous and Non-Porous
Yes it is. It is a NON-FOLIATED version of a metamorphic rock
Obsidin rock, or volcanic glass is non-porous.
Some basalts can be quite porous, others may be non-porous.
Limestone is the parent of rock of non foliated metamorphic. This is a very old type of rock.
The crystals of granite are very tightly interlocked. This means that granite is not a very porous type of rock.
A waterproof rock is sometimes called a "hydrophobic rock" because it repels water due to its surface characteristics.
