What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
What happens to sandstone when heat and pressure are applied?
When heat and pressure are applied to sandstone, the grains of sand compress and fuse together, leading to recrystallization of minerals and the formation of a new rock called quartzite. This process results in the sandstone becoming more compact, harder, and more durable.
What happens if sandstone is heated?
When sandstone is heated, the minerals within it may undergo chemical changes and can potentially recrystallize, altering its physical properties. This can result in the release of water and organic matter within the sandstone, leading to changes in its color, texture, and strength. In extreme cases, excessive heating can cause the sandstone to fracture or break apart.
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 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 when sandstone gets put under pressure?
When sandstone is put under pressure, its grains are compacted more tightly together, reducing its porosity and increasing its density. This can lead to the formation of new minerals through recrystallization, ultimately resulting in the formation of harder and more solid rock. Over time, this pressure can also cause the sandstone to deform and potentially fracture if the pressure becomes too great.
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.
If a human lacks minerals what happens?
you might have sickness if you lack minerals. you might be malnourished
What happens to minerals when you are done with them?
you release waste
What happens to the minerals in a foliated rock?

What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a piece of sandstone?
The sandstone grains will not be affected, but the cementing material between grains could react with dilute hydrochloric acid if it is composed of calcite. Chances are, though, that the cementing material is silicate in nature, and therefore will not react with dilute hydrochloric acid.
