Where is the rock sandstone in the rock cycle?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction and cementation of sand grains. In the rock cycle, sandstone is formed from the lithification of sedimentary deposits, eroded from existing rock formations and carried by wind or water before settling to form layers of sand. Over time, these layers are buried and compacted to eventually form sandstone.
How does erosion effect the rock cycle?
erosion can effect the rock cycle by turning igneouse and metamorphic rocks into sediments and eventualy turn into a sedimentary rock such as sandstone
What rocks comes before quartzite in the rock cycle?
Quartzite is sandstone (sedimentary rock) that has metamorphosed from heat and pressure.
What two factors in the rock cycle may change sandstone to quartzite?
Heat and pressure are the two factors in the rock cycle that can change sandstone to quartzite. Sandstone is subjected to high temperatures and pressure during the metamorphic process, causing the sand grains to recrystallize and cement together, forming quartzite.
What type of rock are sandstone?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock.
What kind a rock is a sandstone?
Sandstone is a Sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is a sandstone?
sedimentary rock
What is the metamorpic rock for sandstone?
Quartzite is the metamorphic rock for sandstone.
How can sandstone rock be changed into different sandstone rock?
by chemicals
Can sandstone be classified as an igneous rock?
No, sandstone is a sedimentary rock.
How do the growth of grains in sandstone change to quartzite?
The minerals in sandstone recrystallize when granite first turns into sandstone a gritty sedimentary rock under weathering and erosion and then into the metamorphic rock quartzite under heat and pressure and then it goes all the way throughout the rock cycle and back into its original form of granite a igneous rock and is formed when magma recrystallizes.
Is sandstone a rock or mineral?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock.
