What else can I help you with?
If the sedimentary rock limestone is subjected to metamorphism what metamorphic rock will likely form?
Limestone can metamorphose into marble, a regional metamorphic rock, or into skarn, a contact metamorphic rock.
Can granite become marble?
No, granite cannot become marble. Granite and marble are two distinct types of rocks formed under different geological conditions. Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten rock, while marble is a metamorphic rock formed from the recrystallization of limestone.
What is the parent rock of limestone?
Limestone doesn't normally have a parent rock. One exception to this may be a detrital limestone, whose parent rock would however also be limestone!
Is a limestone a rock or mineral?
Limestone is a rock, composed mainly of the mineral calcite.
Is marble and limestone an example of a metamorphic rock and its parent rock?
Yes, marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone, which is the parent rock. This process occurs due to the recrystallization of minerals within the limestone under high pressure and temperature conditions.
Is limestone a medaphic rock?
A what rock...?Limestone is sedimentary - the other two classes are igneous and metamorphic.Limestone will metamorphose in suitable conditions of heat and pressure, into marble.
Which two rocks metamorphose into marble?
Limestone and dolostone can metamorphose into marble.
If the sedimentary rock limestone is subjected to metamorphism what metamorphic rock will likely form?
Limestone can metamorphose into marble, a regional metamorphic rock, or into skarn, a contact metamorphic rock.
Can limestone turn into slate?
Yes, with enough pressure and heat, limestone can metamorphose into slate. This process involves the recrystallization of the minerals within the limestone, resulting in the formation of a fine-grained, foliated rock known as slate.
The rock type which results from metamorphosed shale is?
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
What does sedimentary rock become when it is metamorphosed?
Sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic rock when subjected to high temperatures and pressures. This process causes the minerals within the sedimentary rock to recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in a new rock with different characteristics.
How does metamorphism change sandstone?
Sandstone can metamorphose into quartzite.
Can granite become marble?
No, granite cannot become marble. Granite and marble are two distinct types of rocks formed under different geological conditions. Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten rock, while marble is a metamorphic rock formed from the recrystallization of limestone.
What type of rock is limestone?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock.
Is limestone a sedimentry rock?
is limestone a sedimentary rock
What is metamorphic?
Metamorphism is the process by which any kind of rock is changed into a metamorphic rock. Metamorphism uses heat and pressure to change the chemistry within a rock. An igneous rock will get "cooked" and look differently after the metamorphose. A sedimentary rock is composed by debris from older pre-existing rocks deposited in layers. These layers will become bent and the new rock will look "squeezed" after the metamorphose. Examples of metamorphosed rocks: Granite - Gneiss Shale - Slate Limestone - Marble
Is limestone a chemical rock?
Yes limestone is a chemical rock
