Quartizite is a metemorphic rock that is either regional or contact. It is made when lava rises to the earths crust, and heats the sedimentatry rock around it.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock.
Quartzite is often referred to as "quartzite rock" or simply "quartzite." It is a metamorphic rock that is composed primarily of quartz grains.
Quartzite
It doesn't. Granite is an igneous rock, not metamorphic. However, quartzite is metamorphic and is made from sandstone.
Quartzite comes under the metamorphic section of rocks.

Quartzite is sandstone (sedimentary rock) that has metamorphosed from heat and pressure.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. The process involves heat and pressure altering the sandstone's mineral composition, causing quartz grains to recrystallize and fuse together, resulting in a harder, more durable rock. Quartzite is known for its smooth texture, high resistance to weathering, and distinctive white color.
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
A sedimentary rock that may become quartzite is sandstone. Through the process of metamorphism, the sandstone can be transformed into quartzite, which is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz crystals.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock, that, in most cases, is 5,000 years old. Even thogh this rock is called Quartzite, it is not made from quartz. Instead, Quartzite is made from a form of limestone.
