How are Quartzite Granite and Sandstone related?
Quartzite, granite, and sandstone are all types of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. They are related in the sense that they are formed from different processes involving the compression and transformation of sediments. Quartzite is derived from sandstone through intense heat and pressure, while granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Sandstone, on the other hand, is formed from sand particles that are compacted and cemented together over time.
