Amphibolite is a metamorphic rock. It forms when basaltic rock is heated to high temperatures under pressure. Without the added pressure the basaltic rock that would be yielded is green schist.

Why do volcanoes occur at a subdution zone?
the oceanic crust being subducted is Basaltic. It goes through changes from pressure and temperature as it ids subducted. It goes from basalt to Amphibolite and finally at 100km depth eclogite. At the 100 km a lot of the water is forced out of the rock allowing the surrounding area to liquidize. Since it is liquid it is less dense then the solid area and rises. as it reached into the Continental or ocean crust it melts the surrounding area, and magma rises forming a volcano.

What do you do with amphibolite?
Amphibolite is often used in construction. Amphibolite is commonly used on the faces of buildings, as well as paving.
Where can amphibolite be found?
Amphibolite is a metamorphic rock consisting of amphibole. It is formed within the pressure-temperature limits of amphibolite facies usually anywhere from 400 to 500 degrees Celsius.

What is the color of amphibolite?
Amphibolite is the metamorphic form of amphibole, also known as hornblende. Amphibolite usually has a black and white, lightly foliated appearance.
What is the texture of amphibolite?
Amphibolite has a schistose texture, medium to coarse grained and platy.
What is the parent rock of amphibolite?
Amphibolite can have a number of protoliths including various sedimentary and igneous rocks.
What is an amphibolite?
An amphibolite is a class of metamorphic rock comprised mainly of amphibole with some quartz and other minerals.
Is amphibolite mineral a felsic mafic or intermidate?

It can be both
What is amphibolite made of?
Amphibolite is a type of metamorphosed mafic igneous rock. It is composed largely of minerals such as hornblende and plagioclase.
How does metamorphism affect basalt?
it changes it in to amphibolite and schist
What is the color of a amphibolite rock?
Amphibole is a group of minerals which can have very different colors. However, most of the time, an amphibolite will be a dark color, like black or very dark green.
