In metamorphic rocks, minerals occur in joints, faultsor crevices.. they are formed when minerals in their molten, liquid or gaseous form move towards the earth's surface. then they cool and solidify. and in dis way they are formed.

Is marble a volcanic rock?
No, it is a metamorphic rock. (metamorphosed limestone)
Does Metamorphics rock contain fossil fuels?
Anthracite is metamorphosed bituminous coal and is a metamorphic rock.
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.

What happens when you combine a geoligical agrigant of minerals with its lowest form?
you get dwayne the rock johnson finisher "rock bottom"
What is a Nuumite?
Nuummite is a metamorphosed igneous rock composed of the two minerals anthophyllite and gedrite.
What minerals form when rock is metamorphosed?
Calcite, garnet, graphite, hematite, magnetite, mica, and talc.
What is amphibolite made of?
Amphibolite is a type of metamorphosed mafic igneous rock. It is composed largely of minerals such as hornblende and plagioclase.
What rock is formed when limestone is metamorphosed?
Marble is formed when limestone is metamorphosed. This process occurs when the mineral calcite in limestone recrystallizes due to heat and pressure, resulting in a denser, harder rock with a crystalline structure.
What happens when heat and pressure is applied to sedimentary rock?
The rock is metamorphosed: meaning its physical and/or chemical properpties are altered. E.g., limestone to marble.
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by what?
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by "increased pressure" and heating.

What are 3 specific types of metamorphic rocks and what was their parent rock?
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
Name one metamorphosed rock from a sedimentary rock?
Quartzite
What is the crystalline structure of phyllite?
phyllite is a type of metasedimentary rock. The parent rock likely contained clays and/or micas, which have metamorphosed into micas and aligned due to pressure. This shiny surface is produced by the alignment of the minerals.
What rock makes slate?
metamorphosed shale
