What are facts about the marble rock?
Marble rock starts out as limestone. It undergoes heat and pressure. That turns it to marble.
How does limestone form into marble?
pressure, heat, time
Marble is a metamorphic rock that was originally?
By definition a metamorphic rock has undergone recrystallization without melting - that requires a lot of heat and pressure. Marble is a metamorphic rock - it is recrystallized limestone or dolostone.
Is marble a folliated metamorphic rock?
Yes due to it being under pressure and heat. Metamorphic rock is rock that has been transformed chemically and/or physically due to extreme heat and pressure. Marble qualifies because it is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, typically dolomite and/or calcite (think limestone) that has been transformed by the heat and pressure present when it was deep in the crust
When limestone is exposed to intense heat and pressure it becomes what metamorphic rock?
Marble.
Which rock was probably was changed into marble by the addition of heat and pressure?
Limestone was probably metamorphed into marble.
What is a metamorphic rock that has changed form from heat and pressure?
Schist and marble would be common examples.
Was marble formed by heat and pressure or harden lava?
Marble is a metamorphic rock so it was formed by heat and pressure. :)
What is the process in which an existing rock is changed by heat or pressure?
This process is called metamorphism and it creates metamorphic rocks, such as marble.
How would Sedimentary rock turn to metamorphic?
Sedimentary rock that is exposed to heat and pressure will be changed to (metamophised) into metamorphic rock. This is often associated with volcanic activity. An example is limestone, when exposed to the pressure and heat can be changed to marble.
When limestone is changed it becomes what type of rock?
When limestone goes through heat and pressure, it becomes the metamorphic rock marble.
How is marble created?
Heat and Pressure.
The metamorphic rock marble will dissolve in the presence of a weak acid Which rock probably was changed into marble by the addition of heat and pressure?
Limestone. P.S. I am on the same test right now xD
What are facts about the marble rock?
Marble rock starts out as limestone. It undergoes heat and pressure. That turns it to marble.
How marble stone formed?
Marble is formed when limestone is subjected to pressure and great heat.
Is marble polished limestone?
No. Marble is metamorphosed limestone, recrystallized from heat, pressure, or both.
What was marble before it was altered by heat and pressure?
Limestone.
