Is glass metamorphic

Answer 1

No, it's not a rock.

Answer 2

Crystals are the form that minerals take upon solidification. Metamorphic is a term used to describe a rock that undergoes a chemical or mineral transformation from heat or pressure. New crystals can form in rock undergoing metamorphosis, but the crystals themselves are not considered metamorphic.

Answer 3

No, glass is not classified as a metamorphic rock. Glass is an amorphous solid that is typically made from heating sand or quartz to high temperatures and then rapidly cooling it. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of pre-existing rock through heat, pressure, and chemical processes.

Answer 4

Natural glass, like obsidian, is considered an igneous rock. Window glass is a manufactured product that uses minerals in its formation.
