Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
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 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 type of substance is marble?
Marble is any metamorphosed limestone without a strong foliation i.e. a limestone that metamorphosed without strong strain in any particular direction to produce a consistent structure in that direction. It's a relatively specific term in geology, but a lot of other rocks are informally called marble which aren't really true marble - often they're unmetamorphosed fine grained limestones, or something similar.
What are metamorphic rocks made?
preexisting rocks that have been metamorphosed by cooking and crushing.
When rocks are metamorphosed the pressure causes them to become what?
Deformed, and change into metamorphic rocks.
When granite rocks get metamorphosed they changes into?
marble
List 2 ways rocks can be metamorphosed?
by heat and pressure on the rock
Limestone is the parent rock of this?
Limestone is the parent rock of marble. The word marble can be used to refer to both metamorphosed and unmetamorphosed limestone.
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes, in a sense. Rocks can be metamorphosed multiple times, by different geologic events.
Can an igneous rock be changed?
Yes, igneous rocks can be metamorphosed or weathered and eroded.
