What three types of rocks can be metamorphosed into metamorphic rocks?
The 3 basic rock types are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, which can all be changed or metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What rocks is the texture of sandpaper granite shale sandstone marble?
granite
Basalt and granite belong to which type of rocks?
Igneous rocks
What type of rocks are pumice obsidian and granite?
Igneous rocks
What are some Polymineralic rocks?
granite
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
What is metamorphosed granite?
gneiss
Gneiss and slate are what type of rocks?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock would be:Quartzite - composed of the mineral quartz; metamorphosed sandstoneMarble - composed of the mineral calcite; metamorphosed limestone
What type of metamorphic rock is similar to granite?
Gneiss is the metamorphosed type of granite.
What type of rock would result from the metamorphism of granite?
Granite is Igneous rock. It crystallizes from hot melt (magma). Metamorphic rocks can be found associated with granite as result of their contact with country (surrounding) rocks. This will be a contact metamorphism. Metamorphism of granite it self results into granitic gneisses which are coarse foliated rocks.
What was slate before being metamorphosed?
it is made of granite
Can granite become marble?
Granite cannot metamorphose into marble. Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone.
Do the changes in rocks due to heat and pressure result in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
Yes. A rock is said to be metamorphosed when it undergoes a change due to heat and/or pressure.
Which characteristic of rocks tends to increase as the rocks are metamorphosed?
Density
What forms gneiss?
Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.
What three types of rocks can be metamorphosed into metamorphic rocks?
The 3 basic rock types are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, which can all be changed or metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What are 3 specific types of metamorphic rocks and what was their parent rock?
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
