Granite must be exposed to tremendous heat and pressures in order to transform into the metamorphic rock gneiss.
Granite turns into Gniess.
gniess is made of granite
answer is ( b ) on work paper :) for mr. werwart
When emplaced granite is subjected to pressures and temperatures from mountain building processes due to tectonic plate movements, the component minerals are essentially realigned perpendicularly to the direction of the stress.
Gniess is Metamorphic.
Gniess is formed from pre-existing rocks that are subjected intense derectional pressure.
Gneiss may form from either granite or schist.
Gneiss rocks form from the metamorphism of existing rocks, such as granite or sedimentary rocks, under high temperature and pressure conditions deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes mineral grains in the rock to recrystallize and rearrange, giving gneiss its characteristic banded appearance.
Yes
Yes, granite is formed from cooling magma.
because of the minerals that are mixed in with the gniess during the rock cycle(probably at the igneous stage) reflect light off of themselves
Our new countertops are made form granite.
