These are sedimentary rocks.
Sandstone is made of compressed grains of rock and sand.
Shale is made of compressed bits of mud and clay.
Limestone is made of compressed pieces of forms of calcium carbonate.

Limestone is a sedimentary. Granite is metamorphic. Conglomerate is sedimentary. I hope this answers your question.
Granite and basalt are igneous rocks.
Igneous: * Obsidian * Granite * Diorite * Gabbro * Pumice * Basalt Metamorphic: * Slate * Phyllite * Gneiss * Mica schist * Marble * Quartzite * Granulite Sedimentary: * Limestone * Sandstone * Shale * Chert * Mudstone * Chalk
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning it has solidified underground as opposed to solidification on the surface.
Heat and pressure cause granite to change to gneiss.
Quartzite--sandstone. Marble--limestone. Slate--shale. Gneiss--basalt or granite.
Granite is Igneous rock. It crystallizes from hot melt (magma). Metamorphic rocks can be found associated with granite as result of their contact with country (surrounding) rocks. This will be a contact metamorphism. Metamorphism of granite it self results into granitic gneisses which are coarse foliated rocks.

Granite is an igneous rock and gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
Yes. Among some of the more common changes, granite can become gneiss and basalt can become greenstone.
Many kinds of rocks both of igneous and sedimentary nature eg; Limestone (sedimentary ) to marble or granite or diorite (igneous) to gneiss.

silicate rocks, such as granite, gneiss, basalt, and shale.
Gneiss rocks are products of metamorphism while granite rocks are derived from igneous activity.
Quartzite--sandstone. Marble--limestone. Slate--shale. Gneiss--basalt or granite.

Slate and gneiss are examples of metamorphic rock.
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
