What are microtekites?
Microlites are crystal formations that are classifications of Tektites. Tektites are multicolor matter that is the result of terrestrial materials being ejected via extraterrestrial impact. Though somewhat similar to obsidian, their glass exterior makes them distinct. Micrometer size Tektites are known as microtekites.
What will determine if a rock becomes an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Geological processes form rocks. Igneous rocks are made from magmas. Metamorphic rocks are made by changing the physical environment of a previously existing rock.
How are igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks similar?
They both are formed by intense heat. However, metamorphic rocks are formed by intense heat and pressure, while igneous rocks are just dried lava/magma.
Can metamorphic rocks be metamorphosed?
Yes they can, the mineral assemblage in a metamorphic rock reflects and equilibrium state pertaining to the temperatures and pressures to which it has been subject. If the rock is subsequently taken to a different Pressure/temperature environment, an new equilibrium mineral phase will start to develop.
Is chalcopyrite metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
metamorphic
How are tektites formed?
Tektites are formed by solidifying droplets of molten rock which were produced by the impact of a bolide.
Where did tektites come from?
Tektites are meteoric impact resultant glasses formed from the exposure of silicate minerals to intense heat and pressure.
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
What are microtekites?
Microlites are crystal formations that are classifications of Tektites. Tektites are multicolor matter that is the result of terrestrial materials being ejected via extraterrestrial impact. Though somewhat similar to obsidian, their glass exterior makes them distinct. Micrometer size Tektites are known as microtekites.
Where can offer to sell tektites stone?
You can try selling tektites via a website, or at local gem & mineral shows, or via advertising in relevant magazines or websites.
What are small dark glassy objects from meteorites called?
Tektites
What could be an impact to society or benefit to mankind if you could know the origin of tektites?
By knowing the origin of tektites, one could indicate the statistical chance that there will be a bolide impact at some later time in the future.
Where does the heat that forms igneous and metamorphic rock originate?
For igneous rocks it originates from lava in the volcanoes. For metermorphic it originates from deserts the earth's crust.
What does the word metamorphic come from?
Metamorphic comes from metamorphism which is Greek for "change of form". Metamorphic rocks originate from sedimentary and igneous rocks.
Are tektites the small tear-shaped lumps of black glass created by bolide impacts?
Yes.
What will determine if a rock becomes an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Geological processes form rocks. Igneous rocks are made from magmas. Metamorphic rocks are made by changing the physical environment of a previously existing rock.
What are the chemicals that originate and have their effects in their local tissue environment?
The two chemicals are paracrine and cytokine.
