When sand clay or silt gradually turn into stone what do we call them?
Sedimentary
Does shale form from gneiss?
It can, indirectly. Shale is a sedimentary rock. Like many rocks, gneiss can be weathered down to very fine particles to the point that it becomes clay or silt. Those particles can then settle on the bottom of a body of water as mud. Under the pressure of burial, that mud can become shale. However, gneiss can also form from shale. Under long exposure to enormous heat and pressure shale will becomes slate, further heating and pressure will turn slate into phyllite, phyllite into schist, and schist into gneiss.
How does clay turn into limestone?
Clay does not turn into limestone. Lithified clay is called shale.
What does granite turn into?
It turns into Gneiss if it is compressed in the right conditions and under the right temperatures.
How does rock turn into soil?
When small pieces of rock break off larger pieces, they form the basis of all soil. The rock turns in to gravel, which turns into sand. Plants, animals, and minerals break down to form clay. Silt is a dust particle which is made up of minerals and tiny bits of rock. It is smaller than sand and bigger than clay.When the right amount of gravel, sand, clay, and silt mix, it turns into soil.

Sedimentary
How do you turn gneiss into magma?
Gneiss can turn into magma if, while underground, it is heated until it melts.

Sedimentary
Does granite turn into gneiss?
It can.
Does gneiss turn into shale?
No. its the opposite. gneiss forms after shale goes through metamorphism
Could sand turn to water?
NO
Which turn sandstone into gneiss?
heat and volcanos
How does Granite turn to gneiss?
by adding heat and pressure
Is slate and gneiss the same thing?
No, but slate and gneiss are both a type of metamorphic rock. Slate will also turn into Gneiss, eventually, if metamorphosing continues. The series is Shale (sedimentary) >> Slate (metamorphic) >> Phyllite >> Schist >> Gneiss
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 :)
What sedimentary rock does granite turn into?
Gneiss turns into granite. Though it comes from shale."GNEISS can turn to migmatite and then totally recrystallize into granite."
