List at least 3 characteristics that identify a metamorphic rock and explain why the rock has taken on that characteristic Also please list 3 characteristics that identify a sedimentary rock but not?
not sure
What is the texture used to identify the highest degree of regional metamorphism in a foliated rock?
Gneissic texture is used to identify the highest grade of metamorphic rock that still displays foliation. Granulite is the highest grade metamorphic rock, period, but does not display foliation due to the instability of sheet silicates.
What kind of rock is formed with heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks, like slate or quartizite, or even diamonds.
Is marble igneous or sedimentary?
Marble is the metamorphosed result of limestone. Therefore, marble is metamorphic.
Is the rock chalk metamorphic?
No it is not metamorphic, it is a sedimentary rock.
