Quartzite is the metamorphic rock that forms from sandstone. During the process of metamorphism, the sandstone is subjected to heat and pressure, causing the grains to recrystallize and fuse together, resulting in the formation of quartzite.
Sandstone can metamorphose into quartzite.
Granite becomes Sandstone when water erodes the Granite on Earths surface, and then deposits the sediment.
contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism, dynamic metamorphism
Silica sand would first lithify into sandstone. It could then undergo metamorphism through heat and pressure and form the metamorphic rock quartzite.
quartizite
Quartzite is the metamorphic product of sandstone. During metamorphism, intense heat and/or pressure cause the quartz grains contained in the sandstone grow and recrystallize, interlocking together creating Quartzite.
Yes. When it undergoes metamorphism.
It produces marble.
sandstone.:)
Hornfels
shale and sandstone
I suppose it could be marble.
shale and sandstone
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.
No. Limestone changes to Marble when it undergoes intense heat and pressure.
