Gneiss can weather and erode over time due to exposure to physical and chemical processes like temperature changes, water, and chemical reactions. These processes break down the minerals within the gneiss into smaller particles, which eventually form sand and clay. Gradual weathering and erosion transform the gneiss into these smaller sediment particles through the processes of physical breakdown and chemical alteration.

When sand clay or silt gradually turn into stone what do we call them?
When sand, clay, or silt gradually turn into stone, we call them sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed through the accumulation and compaction of sediment over time.
Does shale form from gneiss?
It can, indirectly. Shale is a sedimentary rock. Like many rocks, gneiss can be weathered down to very fine particles to the point that it becomes clay or silt. Those particles can then settle on the bottom of a body of water as mud. Under the pressure of burial, that mud can become shale. However, gneiss can also form from shale. Under long exposure to enormous heat and pressure shale will becomes slate, further heating and pressure will turn slate into phyllite, phyllite into schist, and schist into gneiss.
What metamorphic rock does shale and granite turn into?
Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.
How does clay turn into limestone?
Clay can turn into limestone through a process called diagenesis, where the clay particles are subjected to compaction and cementation, forming a new rock material. Over time, the minerals in the clay are altered and precipitate out to form calcium carbonate, which is the primary mineral in limestone.
What describes a soil's texture?
A soil's texture refers to the relative proportions of sand, silt, and clay particles it contains. The texture influences the soil's water-holding capacity, drainage, and aeration, which in turn affect plant growth. Soil texture is an important characteristic that can be assessed by feel and particle size analysis.

Does granite turn into gneiss?
It can.
Could sand turn to water?
NO
Does gneiss turn into shale?
No. its the opposite. gneiss forms after shale goes through metamorphism
How does Granite turn to gneiss?
by adding heat and pressure
Is slate and gneiss the same thing?
No, but slate and gneiss are both a type of metamorphic rock. Slate will also turn into Gneiss, eventually, if metamorphosing continues. The series is Shale (sedimentary) >> Slate (metamorphic) >> Phyllite >> Schist >> Gneiss
What causes granite to transform into gneiss?
It is impossible for granite to turn into gneiss it is a scientific impossibility that cannot be done with only heat and pressure :)

What does granite rock turn into after heat and pressure?
Granite will become gneiss.
What metamorphic rock does granite turn into after heat and pressure?
Granite will become gneiss.
