One of the most popular metamorphic rocks is marble. Originally limestone, marble is generally created through regional metamorphism, which is when pressure and heat from where magma is pushing up through the Earth's crust effect rocks which are close by, but not actually touching the magma. Contact metamorphism changes the rocks that do actually touch the magma, this is how shale is usually metamorphosed into gneiss.

What is weather resistant metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock that resists chemical and mechanical weathering, for example, the rock gneiss.
Which rock is an example of a non-foliated metamorphic rock?
Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
How does metamorphic rock form example?
Phyllite is an example of a metamorphic rock which may have formed from slate, another metamorphic rock.
What is an example of a fine-grained metamorphic rock?
Slate
How does a metamorphic rock turn into another type of metamorphic rock?
From increased pressure and/or heat. Fluid removal results in hydrous mineral destruction and non-hydrous mineral creation, resulting in rock of a different mineralogy. A metamorphic rock can be further metamorphosed by additional heat and/or pressure into a rock with a higher degree of metamorphism. An example of this would be the metamorphic rock slate changing into the metamorphic rock phyllite.
What type of rock is an example of Gneiss?
Gneiss is an example of a metamorphic rock.
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
What is weather resistant metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock that resists chemical and mechanical weathering, for example, the rock gneiss.
Is gneiss an example of igneous rock?
No. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
What is a metamophic rock?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that is formed from heat and pressure it can form from a sedimentary or igneous an example of a metamorphic rock is marble metamorphic rocks can have foliation like banding or layers.

What is the def Metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock is rock that has changed as a result of constant heat, pressure, or both. One good example is granite.

Does igneous rock have to become sedimentary rock before it can become metamorphic rock?
No. It can change directly into metamorphic rock due to heat and pressure. For example, granite turning into gneiss.
