Which feature would easily distinguish schist and gneiss from quartzite and marble?
schist and gneiss arefoliated and in gneiss you can see the bands.
What would distinguish marble from Schist?
Marble is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock made of carbonate minerals, particularly calcite. It is formed by the metamorphism or limestone. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock made of silicate minerals such as quartz and feldspars, and micas. It forms from the metamorphism of granite or schist.
What is the difference between schist and phyllite?
Texture and metamorphic grade. Schist has visible crystals, while phyllite has crystals too small to be seen with the eye or barely seen. This is a result of schist having higher grade metamorphism.
What features would easily distinguish schist and gneiss from quartzite and marble?
Schist and gneiss are metamorphic rocks that display foliation, the parallel layering of the minerals caused by immense pressures. Quartzite and marble do not display foliation as they are metamorphosed more by heat than by pressure.
Is schist the same as mica schist?
No. Mica schist is a schist with a preponderance of mica minerals. There are also chlorite schists, talc schist, and so on.
Can marble be changed to schist?
It is possible if the marble contains platy minerals like mica.

What is the difference between jade and marble?
Jade is prettier than marble.
What rock is formed when limestone is transformed to a metamorphic rock?
Marble, or sometimes schist.
What is the difference between schist and phyllite?
Texture and metamorphic grade. Schist has visible crystals, while phyllite has crystals too small to be seen with the eye or barely seen. This is a result of schist having higher grade metamorphism.
Name four metamorphic rocks?
Four of the metamorphic rocks are gneiss,slate,marble and schist.
What rocks make up the summit of Mount Everest?
Ordovician limestone, dolomite, schist, and marble
What is a metamorphic rock that has changed form from heat and pressure?
Schist and marble would be common examples.
