What else can I help you with?
What is the origin of lead ore?
the origin of lead ore is contact metamorphic origin
What is the origin of gneiss?
it is formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes
Can metamorphic rock exist on an island of purely volcanic origin?
Yes, metamorphic rock can exist on an island of volcanic origin. Metamorphic rock forms due to high temperatures and pressures acting on existing rock, which can occur through tectonic forces or magmatic intrusion. So, it is possible for metamorphic rock to be present on an island formed purely from volcanic activity.
What type of rock contains no fossils?
Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.
What is the origin of a gneiss rock?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock and its parent rock (protolith) could be a granite or schist.
What kinds of rocks did the sand come from at Great Sand Dunes?
Sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
Can the gravel in a sedimentary rock consist of both igneous and metamorphic rock?
Rock contained within a sedimentary rock could be igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, or any combination of the three rock types in origin.
What is the rock in the Kaaba sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
This Rock came from Heaven.So it is Neighter Sedementary nor igneous nor Metamorphic.
In what type of rocks could you find fossils?
Fossils are principally found in sedimentary rocks and also in some metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks classified?
Igneous rocks are classified based on mineral composition and texture, metamorphic rocks are classified by texture and mineral composition, and sedimentary rocks are primarily classified by their grain size and composition. These classifications help scientists understand the origin and characteristics of each type of rock.
From what is metamorphic rock made?
Metamorphic rocks are made from the action of heat, stress, and pressure on pre-existing rocks, of either an igneous, or a sedimentary origin. Also, sometimes a metamorphic rock can be resculpted to form another metamorphic rock.
What are the tree types of rocks according to origin?
The three types of rocks according to origin are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation and compaction of mineral and organic particles, often in layers. Metamorphic rocks arise from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids.
