What else can I help you with?
Is schist a sedimentary or igneous or metamorphic rock?
it is a metamorphic rock
What igneous rock can be changed into schist?
Igneous rock like granite can be changed into schist through the process of metamorphism, where intense heat and pressure cause recrystallization of the minerals. This process can occur deep within the Earth's crust, transforming the granite into a foliated metamorphic rock like schist.
Is schist an intrusive or extrusive rock?
Neither, Igneous rock is either intrusive or extrusive. Thats what intrusive and extrusive is... A igneous rock.
What does slate become when it becomes a igneous rock?
When slate undergoes metamorphism and is further subjected to heat and pressure, it can transform into a type of metamorphic rock known as schist. This process involves recrystallization of the minerals within the slate, resulting in the development of a distinctive foliated texture characteristic of schist.
What kind of rock is schist rock?
Schist is a metamorphic rock.
What is the rock category of schist?
A schist is a metamorphic rock.
Three examples of igneous rock?
foliated rocks, defined as "metamorphic rocks with parralel layers or "bands". three examples of these foliated rocks are gneiss, slate, and schist. three examples of foliated rocks are schist, gneiss, and schist.
What kind of rock would most likely be formed if an igneous rock was deep underground for many years?
If an igneous rock is buried deep underground for many years, it is likely to undergo metamorphism due to increased pressure and temperature. This process can transform the original igneous rock into a metamorphic rock, such as schist or gneiss, depending on the specific conditions and composition of the original rock. The minerals in the igneous rock may realign or recrystallize, leading to new textures and structures.
Is schist inorganic or organic?
Schist is an inorganic metamorphic rock that forms through the recrystallization of minerals under high temperature and pressure conditions deep within the Earth's crust. It is composed mainly of minerals such as mica, quartz, and feldspar.
How does increase metamorphism affect schist?
it turns into a igneous rock and then you cook an elephant cupcake @ 350
What rock group does Schist belong in?
A schist rock belongs in the metamorphic rock group.
What type of rock forms when heat and pressure change one type of rock into another?
Changes in the structure, texture, or mineralogy of existing rocks will create a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism can result from the effects of heat and/or pressure, or from the addition of ions from heated fluids. Examples of metamorphic rock are slate, schist, and gneiss.
