What else can I help you with?
What origins do gneiss rock have?
Gneiss could eventually form from granite or from schist.
What can granite heated under pressure form?
Granite heated under pressure can form a type of metamorphic rock called gneiss. This process causes the minerals in the granite to recrystallize and align in distinct patterns, giving gneiss its characteristic banded appearance.
A metamorphic rock formed form granite?
Gneiss
How is gneiss similar to granite?
Granite is an igneous rock and gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
Most common form of Mica occurring in Gneiss granite and schist?
muscovite
What is the daughter rock of granite?
The daughter rock of granite is gneiss. Gneiss forms from the metamorphism of granite, where the minerals in the granite recrystallize and align into distinct bands or layers, giving gneiss its characteristic appearance.
How does granite form into gniess?
Granite must be exposed to tremendous heat and pressures in order to transform into the metamorphic rock gneiss.
Does granite turn into gneiss?
It can.
What rock is gneiss from?
Gneiss can be formed by the metamrphism of either granite or schist.
What forms gneiss?
Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.
How are gneiss rocks different that granite rocks?
Gneiss rocks are products of metamorphism while granite rocks are derived from igneous activity.
What causes granite to transform into gneiss?
It is impossible for granite to turn into gneiss it is a scientific impossibility that cannot be done with only heat and pressure :)
