Is quartzite sedimentary or igneous?
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
Is it possible for a sedimentary rock to be changed to become a new sedimentary rock?
Yes it is possible for a sedimentary rock to be changed into a different sedimentary rock.
What is the metamorphosed form of dolomite?
The metamorphosed form of dolomite is called marble. Dolomite is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of the mineral dolomite, while marble is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone or dolomite under high heat and pressure.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
What processes must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
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.
Is serpentine rock sedimentary or igneous?
Serpentine is a type of metamorphosed sedimentary rock.
Name one metamorphosed rock from a sedimentary rock?
Quartzite
Does sedimentary rock become metamorphic rock after millions of years?
Sedimentary rock can become metamorphosed after millions or hundreds of millions of years. Most geologic processes, like metamorphism, are extremely slow in human terms.
What rock or rocks could come just after quartzite in the rock cycle?
Quartzite could either become molten and then solidify into an igneous rock, or weather into particles of sediment that become a sedimentary rock.
Is marble an intrusive rock?
No, marble is a metamorphosed limestone, which itself is a sedimentary rock.
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by?
The application of pressure / heat.
Is coal an organic sedimentary rock?
Most coal is classified as an organic sedimentary rock. The exception would be anthracite, which is metamorphosed bituminous coal.
What is the scientific name for metaconglomerate rock?
Metamorphosed sedimentary conglomerate is referred to as metaconglomerate.
How can a metamorphic rock change into another rock?
Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.
What type of rock can only be formed from sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can form from igneous and sedimentary rock. It can also form from previously metamorphosed rock into a higher grade metamorphic rock.
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
