How might gneiss change into an igneous rock?
It would have to be melted into the earths magma and cool down as either intrusive (inside the earth) or extrusive (on the Earth's crust) igneous rock.
Is gneiss an example of igneous rock?
No. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
How is gneiss similar to granite?
Granite is an igneous rock and gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
Is gneiss a metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
Gneiss is a banded metamorphic rock.
What geologic process change granite igneous rock into gneiss metamorphic rock?
Granite can be changed into gneiss through the process of metamorphism, where heat and pressure alter the mineral structure of the rock. This process causes the minerals in the granite to recrystallize, forming distinct banding and foliation characteristic of gneiss. The original minerals in the granite are reorganized into new minerals such as mica, quartz, and feldspar, giving gneiss its unique appearance.
Is gneiss an igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
It is a Metamorphic rock
Is gneiss igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
It is a Metamorphic rock
What grain structure does gneiss have?
Gneiss which is a non-foliated meta-igneous rock is coarse grained in texture.
Is gneiss metamorphic?
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
