What rocks make schist?
Schist comes from shale. It is laminated , flaky, and found in parallel layers. The minerals in this rocks that have crystallized from the parent rock are visible.
Why is the Vishnu schist visible at earths surface?
The Vishnu Schist is visible at Earth's surface because it is an exposed metamorphic rock unit that has undergone intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. Over millions of years, uplift and erosion have brought the Vishnu Schist to the surface, where it can be seen and studied by geologists.
Headers and Footers are visible in view but not in view?
They are visible in Print Layout or Page Layout view, and they are not visible in Normal View.
Which feature would easily distinguish schist and gneiss from quartzite and marble?
The presence of visible minerals aligned in bands or layers would distinguish schist and gneiss from quartzite and marble. Schist and gneiss show foliation due to intense metamorphism, while quartzite and marble are more homogenous in texture.
A metamorphic rock that has visible layers or bands?
Schist is a metamorphic rock that has visible layers or bands due to the alignment of platy minerals like mica and chlorite during the metamorphic process. These layers or bands give schist its distinctive foliated texture and can vary in color and composition depending on the minerals present.
What is a flaky form of metamorphic rock?
A flaky form of metamorphic rock is schist. It is characterized by its medium to coarse-grained texture and its ability to be split into thin flakes or layers due to the alignment of mineral grains, such as mica. Schist often exhibits a foliated structure, with layers of different minerals visible to the naked eye.
What is the difference between schist and phyllite?
Texture and metamorphic grade. Schist has visible crystals, while phyllite has crystals too small to be seen with the eye or barely seen. This is a result of schist having higher grade metamorphism.
What is after phyllite and before gneiss?
schist
Is schist the same as mica schist?
No, schist is a metamorphic rock type characterized by strong foliation, while mica schist is a specific type of schist that contains a high proportion of mica minerals like muscovite or biotite. Mica schist has a distinct shiny appearance due to the abundance of mica minerals.
What is the rock category of schist?
A schist is a metamorphic rock.
What country is schist found in?
Schist is a metamorphic rock found deep underground but I don't know where some schist
Does schist contain diamond?
