Quartzite is a metamorphic rock.
Probably a felsic igneous rock.
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
It doesn't. Granite is an igneous rock, not metamorphic. However, quartzite is metamorphic and is made from sandstone.
Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
Probably orthoquartzite, although some consider it a metamorphic rock.
granite
Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock, formed from rapidly cooling lava.
Quartz is a silicate mineral (SiO2). igneous A+
When sedimentary rock such as breccia gets buried deep within the earth, it changes into metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock then can be changed into magma and reintroduced as igneous rocks, such as rhyolite or granite.
Schist and gneiss are common rocks that can form after quartzite in the rock cycle. Schist forms from the metamorphism of rocks like shale or mudstone, while gneiss forms from the high-grade metamorphism of granite or other rocks.
Quartzite is often referred to as "quartzite rock" or simply "quartzite." It is a metamorphic rock that is composed primarily of quartz grains.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock, which means it was once a different type of rock (such as sandstone) that underwent intense heat and pressure to form quartzite. It is composed primarily of quartz grains.
