Metamorphism is the name of the process (of heat and pressure) that causes the chemical; and therefore mineralogical; properties of a rock to change. Marble (changed from limestone) may represent the lowest grade of metamorphism, whilst the schists are a more common higher grade of that same process. At the extreme, the rocks will melt, but that is considered beyond the definition of metamorphism, for it will change the actual chemical nature of the rock. So - it is the application of heat and pressure; perhaps accompanied by shear; that are the metamorphic change agents. Usually caused by deep burial.
By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.
metamorphic rock melts into magma and volcano erupts. lava hardens and cools
depending on the rock. sedimentary rocks are formed under water and may have water wave ripples. metamorphic rock has been pressed into waves. igneous rocks flowed in waves
Garnets are formed inside metamorphic rock, which is rock that has been changed by some force. This force also helps to form the garnet, and usually involves heat or pressure.
Metamorphic. By contrast, igneous rocks form from lava or magma, and sedimentary rock form from sediment. Those things are formed from previous rocks, but constitute intermediate stages: igneous and sedimentary rocks are formed indirectly from previous rocks.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone.
Metamorphic Rock
Probably the metamorphic rock phyllite.
metamorphic.
Marble is the metamorphic rock formed from limestone. =)
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
both are correct metamorphic rock can form from both.
Slate is formed out of a sedimentary rock called Shale. It is a foliated metamorphic rock.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
Metamorphic rocks, like slate or quartizite, or even diamonds.
