What is quartzite in relation to sandstone?
Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone.
Sandstone and basalt are changed by heat and pressure to form?
Sandstone is changed into quartzite and basalt is changed into schist or gneiss through the process of metamorphism.
How do quartzite and basalt get intruded together?
Quartzite and basalt can be intruded together through geological processes such as tectonic activity and magmatic intrusions. When molten magma rises through the Earth's crust, it can encounter pre-existing quartzite formations, causing the magma to either intrude into the quartzite or flow around it. Basalt, being a common volcanic rock, can form from the same magma sources, resulting in both rock types being present in the same geological setting. This typically occurs in areas of continental collision or rifting, where diverse rock formations are subjected to intense pressure and heat.

What is a nickname for quartzite?
Quartzite is often referred to as "quartzite rock" or simply "quartzite." It is a metamorphic rock that is composed primarily of quartz grains.
How many layers of material were the the roads made of?

Examples of permeable and impermeable rocks?
Permeable rocks: sandstone, limestone, and conglomerate. These rocks have interconnected pores that allow water and other fluids to flow through them. Impermeable rocks: granite, basalt, and shale. These rocks have very few or no pores, making them resistant to the movement of water and fluids.
