Which of Slate Granite Shale or Pumice is classified as a sedimentary rock?
Slate, granite, and shale are classified as metamorphic or igneous rocks, while pumice is classified as an igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment.
Which is an igenous rock limestone rhyolite slate or shale?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock. Limestone, slate, and shale are sedimentary rocks.
When magma crystallizes it becomes?
When magma crystallizes, it becomes igneous rock. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock material. The texture and composition of the igneous rock are determined by the rate of cooling and the mineral content of the magma.
Is granite and slate the same?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the solidification of magma underground. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock formed from heat and pressure applied to deposits of shale, a sedimentary rock.
When magma cools and solidifies it becomes which rock?
When magma cools and solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.
Does slate change into an igneous rock?
no slate is an igneous rock
How can a metomorphic rock become an igneous rock?
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.
Is a slate a igneous rock?
No, slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed by shale
What type of rock does quartz become after metaphism?
It becomes igneous rock
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
How does lava become an igneous rock?
lava becomes igneous rock by cooling down and hardening -ctd
Can a metamorphic rock become a extrusive igneous rock?
Yes because, when it melts and cools off then, it becomes an igneous rock.
How sediments can become igneous rock?
The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.
What does a igneous rock have to do before it can become a sedimentary rock?
It melts then it becomes solid
How does sedimentary rock become metamorphic and then igneous?
A quick example: Near shore sedimentary is subducted due to the collision of tectonic plates. The sedimentary rock gradually becomes slate from low grade metamorphism due to heat and pressure. The slate then becomes a higher grade metamorphic rock, like schist. If the increase in heat and pressure continue with subduction, the rock will eventually melt. If the product of this melt is erupted by a volcano or becomes a plutonic extrusion and solidifies, it will form an igneous rock.
What caused rock to become igneous?
Igneous rock becomes sediment due to exposure to chemical and mechanical weathering at or near the surface.
Can a sedimentary rock become an igneous rock before it becomes a metamorphic rock?
Yes, depending on where it is located
