What is the parent rock of migmatite?
granite. it's very simmilar to Gneiss but lower grade of metamorphism
How are igneous and metamorphic rocks related?
Both gneiss and migmatite are late-stage, high grade metamorphic rocks.
Which metamorphic rocks are mostly likely to have formed at the highest temperatures and pressures?
Gneiss is a Plutonic metamorphic rock which is formed under high pressure and temperature condition at Katazone or Lower Zone.
What sedimentary rock does granite turn into?
Gneiss turns into granite. Though it comes from shale."GNEISS can turn to migmatite and then totally recrystallize into granite."
10 examples of metamorphic rocks?
- Amphibolite - Eclogite - Gneiss - Greenstone - Hornfels - Marble - Migmatite - Phyllite - Quartzite (Metaquartzite) - Schist - Slate - Soapstone
What color is migmatite?
thee color of migmatite is green and white
What is the name of the secondary granite that results from the half-meltdown of a gneiss?
Migmatite.
What is thought to form by partial melting and in situ crystallization of the melted portion?
migmatite
How do you use migmatite?
Normally you don't use it by it's self. it is combined with other things. It is found in fish and birds and even brains sometimes. look on wikipedia. that is where I'm giving you this information from.
What is the metamorphic progression of shale?
Shale > Slate > Phyllite > Schist > Gneiss > Migmatite > Complete Melt
What is the parent rock of migmatite?
granite. it's very simmilar to Gneiss but lower grade of metamorphism
How are igneous and metamorphic rocks related?
Both gneiss and migmatite are late-stage, high grade metamorphic rocks.
Is a migmatite foliated or non foliated metamorphic rock?
Difficult to give you a precise answer, migmatites are composed of a leucosome which is new material crystallized from incipient melting and a mesosome which is old material that resisted melting. These two materials may form a fine fabric which imparts a foliation to the rock. The leucosome may also be incoherently folded. Also if the migmatite is forming from a foliated source, the foliation may persist. Thus migmatites are metamorphic rocks that show characteristics of incipient melting and they may or may not show a foliation too, the foliation is not a critical characteristic of a rock being a migmatite.
What does schist begin as?
As you increase the temperature and pressure of Shale it metamorphism occurs. It changes in this order: Shale > Slate > Phyllite > Schist > Gneiss > Migmatite
What has the author Karl Richard Mehnert written?
Karl Richard Mehnert has written: 'Migmatites and the origin of granitic rocks' -- subject(s): Migmatite
What protolith would be most valuable in determining the pressure and temperature of metamorphism?
Possibly shale, as it goes through a series of metamorphic transitions from slate to migmatite.
What do you call a metamorphic rock that melts beneath the Earth's surface?
At the point of total melt, it would be called magma. Metamorphic rock that exhibits partial melting is called migmatite.
