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.
List 2 ways rocks can be metamorphosed?
by heat and pressure on the rock
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
CAN Metamorphic rocks occur from sedimentary and igneous rocks?
Yes, both sedimentary and igneous rock can be metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What rocks comes before quartzite in the rock cycle?
Quartzite is sandstone (sedimentary rock) that has metamorphosed from heat and pressure.
How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?
Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
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.
What causes metamorphic rocks to form?
Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are subjected to high temperature and pressure conditions deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the minerals in the original rock to recrystallize and change their structure, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
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
Which rock cannot be metamorphosed?
Rocks that are classified as non-crystalline or amorphous, such as obsidian, cannot be metamorphosed because they lack a defined crystalline structure. Metamorphism requires heat and pressure to rearrange the mineral structure of rocks, which cannot occur in amorphous materials.
What are metamorphic rocks made?
preexisting rocks that have been metamorphosed by cooking and crushing.
When granite rocks get metamorphosed they changes into?
marble
