Sedimentary rocks
metamorphic rocks
Sandstone that has experienced heat and high pressure can form a metamorphic rock called quartzite.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock. It forms when sandstone is subjected to heat and pressure.
The metamorphic rock quartzite would form due to the heat and pressure.
Quartz crystals typically grow hydrothermally, in hot, pressurized, silical solutions.
Metamorphic Rock
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.
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.

The most common metamorphic rock associated with the regional, contact, or depth of burial metamorphosis of sandstone is quartzite.
No. Granite and basalt have different compositions and form under different circumstances.
