What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
How can the granite of a mountain change first into sandstone and then into quartize?
The Granite mountain becomes weathered and eroded by surface processes and the debris is carried off and separated into its sandy components by water flowing in rivers. The sandy sediments pile up and become buried by more sediments and as this happens they fuse together to form a new sandstone rock. Should this new rock become involved in a continental collision that heats up and squashes the sandstone rock this will metamorphose into a quartzite.
What happens when basalt is mixed with vinegar?
Vinegar, with a pH of 2.8, is very acidic and as a result will etch any sealed finish on your granite. Typical etchings will appear as hazy areas, dull spots or rings.
What eventually happens to a grain of sand?
A quartz sand grain could combine with other rock particles to become sandstone which could then undergo metamorphism to become quartzite. Given enough time and weathering, it could simply become a part of a solution that reconstitutes elsewhere as part of a mineral crystal.
What happens to sandstone when heat and pressure are applied?
It becomes metamorphic rock
When a minerals color is changed by weathering its streak also changes true or false?
False. No matter what happens to the mineral, the streak will always remain the same.
What happens to fluorescent minerals when light shines on them?
