Intrusive and extrusive are terms used to describe igneous
rocks. Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Asked in Geology, Rocks and Minerals
Is quartzite a igneous rock or a sedimentary rock?
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that comes from the sedimentary
rock Sandstone.
Asked in Rocks and Minerals
What igneous rock forms sandstone?
the igneous rock that forms sandstone is halite this is because
when the sea water evaporates it produces halite and the by-product
of the production of halite is red stained sand stone.
Asked in Geology, Rocks and Minerals
Is sandstone an igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. It is classified this way
because of the way it was created. It was created when sand was
compressed and eventually became rock.
Asked in Geology

no it is a sedimentary rock, extrusive is a term for igneous
rocks
Asked in The Difference Between, Rocks and Minerals
What the difference between sandstone and tuff?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed when sand weathered from
preexisting rock is cemented together. Tuff is an igneous rock
formed from volcanic ash.
Asked in Earth Sciences, Rocks and Minerals
Is quartzite made of igneous rock or sedimentary rock?
Quartzite is itself a metamorphic rock. It usually forms from
sandstone, which is sedimentary.
Asked in Geology, Rocks and Minerals
Is sandstone igneous or sedimentary or metamorphic?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock which is made up of sand grains
which have been compressed to form a rock that has very weak bonds
holding the grains together. The grains themselves can be igneous,
sedimentary or metamorphic depending on which rock the grains were
eroded from.
Asked in Rocks and Minerals

Asked in Science
What type of rock is sandstonelimestonemarblegranite?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock as is limestone. Marble is a
non-foliated metamorphic rock and granite is a felsic intrusive
igneous rock.
Asked in Geology
Is limestone classified as a granite or a sandstone?
Limestone is not classed as either a granitoid or a sandstone
rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, either chemically
precipitated or bioclastic in origin. Granite is a plutonic igneous
rock, and sandstone, although sedimentary, is formed from the
cementation of sand-sized particles of eroded rock.
Asked in Geology
What is quartzite in relation to basalt?
Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone. Basalt is an
extrusive igneous rock.
Asked in Geology, Scientific Method
Is quartzite sedimentary or igneous?
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is
therefore a metamorphic rock.
Asked in Igneous Rock
Is granite a igneous rock and why?
Yes, granite is considered an igneous rock because it has the
form of an igneous rock, which is a layered form. Glad I could
help!
