What is another name for fossilized wood?
permineralized fossil
Metamorphic rock having a uniform consistency?
Marble is a metamorphic rock known for its uniform consistency due to the recrystallization of limestone or dolomite. This results in a smooth, granular texture and consistent color throughout the rock. Marble is commonly used in sculptures, architecture, and interior design due to its aesthetic appeal.
2 pathways through the rock cycle in which igneous rock can become metamorphic rock?
One pathway involves the burial of igneous rock deep within the Earth's crust where it is subjected to high pressure and temperature, causing it to recrystallize into metamorphic rock. Another pathway is when igneous rock is subjected to heat and pressure during tectonic plate collisions, leading to its transformation into metamorphic rock.
Explain why some minerals only occur in metamorphic rock?
When the rock was forming other minerals that were near the forming place of the metamorphic rock were mixed in after the pressure has been made on the metamorphic rock. I am a seventh grade teacher so I know the answer. We are going over this in class right now.
Can any stone start out as metamorphic?
No, not all stones can start out as metamorphic. Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo high heat and pressure, so they must have a pre-existing rock to transform from.
Why did the rock collector like his collection of metamorphic rock so much?
Metamorphic
What are petrified spars?
Oh, dude, petrified spars are basically just pieces of wood that have turned into stone over a looong period of time. It's like when you leave your sandwich in your backpack for weeks and it becomes a rock. So yeah, petrified spars are just nature's way of saying, "I'm gonna turn this tree into a rock, deal with it."
Use petrified in a sentence?
She was so petrified of the dragon, she hid behind a big rock so it wouldn't find her.
What is another name for fossilized wood?
permineralized fossil
Is petrified wood abiotic or biotic?
Petrified wood is abiotic. It is a type of fossil that forms when wood is buried and replaced by minerals over time, resulting in a stone-like material that retains the original structure of the wood. Biotic refers to living organisms, and since petrified wood is a preserved form of a once-living material, it is considered abiotic.
What is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
How is petrified wood different from molds and casts?
Petrified wood is when the tree is in contact with elements and minerals that solidify it into a rock or petrified tree. A mold is the fossilized imprint from an animal or plant organism, whilst a cast is when the organism died or ended up in a rock/mineral and ended up being filled with the minerals of the surroundings over time (from the limestone as example). This creates a replica of the organism once the actual organism dissolves. This is what I gathered from science class today... So I suggest you do more research if needed. Forgive me if I'm wrong. Good luck with whatever you need this for
When is a metamorphic rock change into a igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks are made by heat and pressure, and assuming this isn't a grown person, you SHOULD know that igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma that hardens, so it is when a metamorphic rock is melted, and then hardens. This creates igneous rock.

How does metamorphic turns to sedemantary?
Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock
Can an igneous rock become metamorphic?
Yes,so can sedimentary rocks and even other metamorphic rocks.
Are Foliate rocks metamorphic?
Foliation is a descriptive term applied to certain types of metamorphic rocks, so, by definition, Yes, a folate rock is metamorphic.
