What else can I help you with?
What was gneiss before it undertook heat and pressure?
A mixture of sand and clay, mudstone, metamorphose (process of changing from one type of rock into a metamorphic rock) into gneiss rocks or schist rocks. The mudstones would change under heat and pressure to make the new Metamorphic rocks.
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
A nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone is called hornfels. It usually has a fine-grained texture and lacks the layering characteristic of foliated rocks. Hornfels forms when the parent rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures near a magma intrusion.
What does mud turn into after millions of years?
Mud compacts and hardens over millions of years to form sedimentary rock, such as shale or mudstone. The pressure and heat from the layers above accelerate the process of lithification, transforming the mud into solid rock.
What is slate formed by?
Slate is formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone. This process involves intense heat and pressure which causes the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated rock with excellent cleavage properties.
What happens to granite if you put it under heat and pressure?
When granite is subjected to heat and pressure, it undergoes a process called metamorphism and can transform into a metamorphic rock called gneiss. The mineral composition and texture of the granite change during this process, resulting in a foliated texture and alignment of minerals in the gneiss.
What happens to carbon under heat and pressure?
Under heat and pressure, carbon can undergo carbonization, transforming into graphite or diamonds. The specific conditions of heat and pressure determine the final form of carbon.
What happens when limestone is put under heat and pressure?
It could recrystallize and form marble, under specific conditions of heat and pressure.
What makes mudstone change to become slate?
The process is called Metamorphosis of Rocks. When the slate goes under the conditions of high pressure and heat it changes to schist or gneiss. Type of slate decide whether it gonna be schist or gneiss.
What happen if you heat steam?
If you heat steam under pressure you get "superheated steam" under higher than original pressure
What does mud stone turn into?
Mudstone can undergo further diagenesis and compaction to become shale or slate. Under higher temperatures and pressures, it can metamorphose into schist or gneiss. If subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can even melt and form igneous rocks like granite.
What happens to the pressure of gas when it is heated at a constant heat?
The pressure is higher.
When does fusion of hydrogen atoms happens?
Fusion of hydrogen atoms occurs in the core of stars, where intense heat and pressure cause hydrogen nuclei to merge and form helium. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat, providing the source of a star's power.
Mud-stone is subjected to great heat and pressure over a long period of time forms what kind of rock?
When mudstone is subjected to great heat and pressure over a long period, it transforms into a metamorphic rock known as slate. This process, called metamorphism, causes the minerals within the mudstone to realign and recrystallize, resulting in a denser and more durable rock. Slate typically exhibits a foliated texture, allowing it to break along flat planes.
Does diamond explode under immense heat?
No, diamonds are formed under immense heat and pressure.
What was gneiss before it undertook heat and pressure?
A mixture of sand and clay, mudstone, metamorphose (process of changing from one type of rock into a metamorphic rock) into gneiss rocks or schist rocks. The mudstones would change under heat and pressure to make the new Metamorphic rocks.
What happens when you heat and cool air?
When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.
What under heat and pressure can turn in to a metamorphic?
a rock
