Sandstone and basalt can be changed by heat pressure to form?
Sedimentary rocks
What metamorphic rocks form sandstone?
The most common metamorphic rock associated with the regional, contact, or depth of burial metamorphosis of sandstone is quartzite.
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat or pressure what does it form?
Metamorphic rock
How does the granite of a mountain change first into a sandstone into a quartzite?
The forces of the mountain building slowly pushed the granite upward. This formed a mountain. Water and wind slowly wore the granite away. The sand remaining was carried by streams to the ocean. Over millions of years layers of sediment piled up on the ocean floor and changed to sandstone. Sandstone is a Sedimentary rock. Over time, the sandstone became deeply buried. Heat and pressure changed the sandstone to quartzite, a metamorphic rock. I got this from my science homework. :)
Can diamonds form in basalt?
No diamond cannot form in basalt. Diamond only form in Kimberlite because it develop only at very low cooling rate.
Sandstone and basalt can be changed by heat pressure to form?
Sedimentary rocks
What rock forms when sandstone goes through heat and pressure?
Sandstone that has experienced heat and high pressure can form a metamorphic rock called quartzite.
What does quartzite form from?
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock. It forms when sandstone is subjected to heat and pressure.
What rock would form if sandstone was deeply buried and had heat and pressure making it recrystallize?
The metamorphic rock quartzite would form due to the heat and pressure.
How does quartzite form?
Quartz crystals typically grow hydrothermally, in hot, pressurized, silical solutions.
How does sandstone gets converted to quartzite?
Quartzite is the metamorphic product of sandstone. During metamorphism, intense heat and/or pressure cause the quartz grains contained in the sandstone grow and recrystallize, interlocking together creating Quartzite.
Rocks that are changed by heat and pressure will form?
Metamorphic Rock
What does sandstone come from?
Basalt is an igneous rock and therefore, it does not have a parent rock or protolith. Metamorphic rocks are said to have parent rocks because they form by the deformation of other rocks through heat and pressure.
Where does sandstone form?

What metamorphic rocks form sandstone?
The most common metamorphic rock associated with the regional, contact, or depth of burial metamorphosis of sandstone is quartzite.
Is granite in basalt?
No. Granite and basalt have different compositions and form under different circumstances.
When sedimentary rock is changed by heat or pressure what does it form?
Metamorphic rock
