How does metamorphism affect basalt?
it changes it in to amphibolite and schist
How does metamorphism affect baslt?
Basalt when metamorphosed turns to the following rocks: (LEAST PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE TO THE MOST) + mineralogy -Greenschist-albite, epidote, chlorite -Amphibolite-amphioble, plagioclase feldspar -Granulite-calcium-rich pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar -Eclogite-sodium-rich pyroxene and garnet
What is metamorphosed basalt?
Metamorphism is when a rock of any particular composition get heated and put under pressure such that it partially melts and the chemical elements that make up the minerals rearrange to form new, usually high temperature and pressure versions of the original minerals since the composition is the same. The pressure is provided usually over a long period of burial or tectonic movement and the heat is either on a regional or local scale (contact metamorphism) where the rocks being metamorphosed have a magma intruded next to them. Basalt is an igneous rock (erupted from volcano) and is fine grained, ie. they cool quickly. Depending on the particular temperature and pressure it undergoes its minerals will change into particular other minerals. Metamorphic rocks of particular composition have been put into what are called 'facies'. Read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalt#Metamorphism and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueschist for a decent start. Metamorphosed basalts are also important hosts for a variety of hydrothermal ore deposits, including gold deposits, copper deposits, volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposits and a few others. (Wiki)
Is basalt a gas?
No. Basalt is solid rock.
What type of metamorphism would result in a schist?
Most schists are derived from phyllite, a lower grade metamorphic rock.

What makes the eclogite rock?
Extreme metamorphism of oceanic crustal basalt.
At divergent boundaries is what metamorphism results from extrusion of basaltic lava?
A metamorphic rock formed from Basalt is Schist. a.k.a. Green Schist
What type of volcano produces basalt?
juuf
Is basalt a solid?
Yes, basalt is a solid at standard temperature and pressure.
How will basalt change in the future?
Basalt will not change it the future. Basalt will always be basalt. As rocks unlike humans or animals do not evolve. As they are inanimate objects. The however can be turned back into magma or lava, They can be eroded, or undergo metamorphism. Then then will change in shape and form but basalt will always have the same chemical composure as if it had a different one it would be a different rock.

What type of rocks are created from Kilauea?
Kilauea produces a type of igneous rock called basalt.
When new basalt forms along ocean ridges it becomes magnetized how?
While it is molten it is above the Curie temperature and is not magnetic, as it cools below this temperature the ambient magnetic field becomes "frozen" into the basalt.
What type of igneous rock that is made from lava?
Cooling lava produces extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt.

If you heated equal masses of basalt and lead which one would record a faster increase in temperature?
my ass
