What else can I help you with?
Is Slate is metamorphic?
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
A regional metamorphic belt is divided into zones based upon what?
A regional metamorphic belt is divided into zones based upon the temperature and pressure conditions experienced by the rocks during their formation. These zones help geologists understand the intensity of metamorphism and the types of minerals present in the rocks.
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.
What rock forms at the lowest grade of regional metamorphism?
Slate is the rock that forms at the lowest grade of regional metamorphism. With increased metamorphic grade, slate can further transition into phyllite, then schist, and finally gneiss.
How does a extrusive igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock?
Extrusive igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks through the process of regional metamorphism, where they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of a new metamorphic rock.
What metamorphic has elongated layers?
Regional metamorphism
What are the two types metamorphic rock?
The two groups of metamorphic rock are foliated and nonfoliated. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as contact and regional.
What most metamorphic rock forms as a result of?
regional metamorphism
What is the origin of gneiss?
it is formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes
What are two things a metamorphic rock can d changed into?
regional and contact
Is the largest quantity of metamorphic rock produced by regional metamorphism?
True
When rocks grind and squeeze past each other metamorphic can occur?
Regional
Metamorphic is a process by which buried rocks in a large area are changed by heat and fluids?
Regional
On on what basis can metamorphic rocks be identified?
Metamorphic rocks can be identified if the rock is foliated or nonfoliated, foliating type, type of metamorphism (contact/regional), and by probable original rock. :)
Are metamorphic rocks harder than others?
uh, i think you mean 'metamorphic'....
Is Slate is metamorphic?
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
How is contact metamorphism different from regional metamorphic?
contact metamorphism is what happens when something is really hot. regional metamorphism on the other hand involves much larger packages of rocks.
