Quartzite is sandstone (sedimentary rock) that has metamorphosed from heat and pressure.
Quartzite comes under the metamorphic section of rocks.
Schist and gneiss are common rocks that can form after quartzite in the rock cycle. Schist forms from the metamorphism of rocks like shale or mudstone, while gneiss forms from the high-grade metamorphism of granite or other rocks.
No, the rock cycle is a continuous process of transformation where rocks can change through erosion, deposition, and heat and pressure. After quartzite forms, it can still experience further changes through processes such as weathering and metamorphism.
Marble will effervesce in vinegar or diluted hydrochloric acid--quartzite will not. Both quartzite and marble are meta-sedimentary rocks. However, quartzite comes from a quartz rich sandstone, and marble comes from limestone.White marble is white limestone that has gone through metamorphosis.White Quartzite is white sandstone that has gone through metamorphosis.
Examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks are quartzite and marble.

Metamorphic rocks
Yes.
gniess, slate, and quartzite
Quartzite.
Usually they are in the ground.
Marble and quartzite are examples of massive metamorphic rocks that lack banding. Marble is formed from the metamorphism of limestone, while quartzite is formed from the metamorphism of sandstone. Both rocks typically have a uniform composition and lack the distinct layering or banding that is characteristic of other metamorphic rocks.
