What else can I help you with?
What makes the eclogite rock?
Extreme metamorphism of oceanic crustal basalt.
What type of rock is mostly found in mantle?
The rocks found in the mantle are usually olivine, pyroxenes, spinal structure minerals, and garnet. Some others are peridotite, dunite, and eclogite.
Basalt can change into what metamorphic rock?
When basalt undergoes metamorphism, it can change into a metamorphic rock called greenstone. Greenstone is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that forms from the alteration of basalt through metamorphic processes like recrystallization and the growth of new minerals.
Which metamorphic facies represents the highest temperature and pressure conditions?
It's eclogite facies.
Why is peridotite more predominant in the upper mantle than eclogite?
Two reasons: first, peridotite is native to the mantle where as eclogite is formed from the metamorphism of oceanic crust; secondly, eclogite has a much higher density than peridotite and so it sinks to the lower mantle.
Basalt is pushed into the crust by subduction It will most likely become?
Basalt pushed into the crust by subduction will likely become metamorphosed into a rock called eclogite due to the high pressure and temperature conditions experienced in the subduction zone.
What rock is a metamorphic rock?
Amphibolite Blueschist Eclogite Gneiss Granulite Greenschist Greenstone Hornfels Marble - limestone Marble - dolomite Migmatite Phyllite Quartzite Schist Serpentinite Slate Soapstone
What is the source of the carbon in diamonds that are found in eclogite?
the source is the magma
What are rocks that come from the mantle?
Rocks that come from the mantle are called mantle rocks. These rocks are typically formed deep within the Earth's mantle and can include peridotite, dunite, and eclogite. Mantle rocks are brought to the surface through processes like volcanic eruptions or tectonic movements.
What rock will you find in the Mantle?
The mantle, or interior of the Earth is made up of mostly of rocks that have high amounts of silicon and aluminum. There is also an abundance of nickel and iron in the mantle.
What is metamorphic rocks's names?
quartzite, slate, gneiss, marlbe, migmitite, amphibolite, serpenrinite, eclogite. that's all i have from my school papers. quartzite, slate, gneiss, marlbe, migmitite, amphibolite, serpenrinite, eclogite. that's all i have from my school papers.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
