What else can I help you with?
Is quartzite sedimentary or igneous?
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
What rock is harder than sandstone?
Granite is typically harder than sandstone. Granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling of molten magma, making it more dense and resistant to abrasion compared to sandstone, which is a sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is formed after magma or lava cools and hardens?
the name of the type of Rock it forms is igneous rock. it is made in lots of ways and can be made into other rocks like granite and sandstone.
What does not belong and why shale basalt sandstone limestone?
Basalt does not belong because it is an igneous rock formed from volcanic activity, while shale, sandstone, and limestone are sedimentary rocks formed from different processes such as compression of sediment or accumulation of organic materials.
Igneous rock is eroded and what to the bottom of a river eventually forming what kind of rock?
Igneous rock eroded in a river will eventually form sediment, which can be compacted and cemented to become sedimentary rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Can sandstone be classified as an igneous rock?
No, sandstone is a sedimentary rock.
Is sandstone an igneous metamophic or sedimentary rock?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock
The Igneous rock Sandstone can turn into which rock that can be a sedimentary rock?
Sandstone is sedimentary itself.
Is red and pale sandstone an igneous rock?
No. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, regardless of its color.
What igneous rock forms sandstone?
the igneous rock that forms sandstone is halite this is because when the sea water evaporates it produces halite and the by-product of the production of halite is red stained sand stone.
Are sandstone igenous rocks?
Sandstone is not an igneous rock; it is a coarse-grained, sedimentary rock composed mostly of quartz.
Is quartzite sedimentary or igneous?
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
What is the odd one out of granite basalt sandstone?
Sandstone is the odd one out as it is a sedimentary rock, as opposed to granite and basalt which are respectively felsic and mafic igneous rocks.
What the difference between sandstone and tuff?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed when sand weathered from preexisting rock is cemented together. Tuff is an igneous rock formed from volcanic ash.
What does quartzite morph into?
It doesn't. Granite is an igneous rock, not metamorphic. However, quartzite is metamorphic and is made from sandstone.
Example of a sedimentary rock that changes into igneous rock?
When sedimentary rock such as breccia gets buried deep within the earth, it changes into metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock then can be changed into magma and reintroduced as igneous rocks, such as rhyolite or granite.
Is sand stone a sedimentary a metamorphic or a igneous rock?
sandstone is a sedimentary rock because of the layers or lines you can see on it
