What does slate become when it becomes a igneous rock?
When slate undergoes metamorphism and is further subjected to heat and pressure, it can transform into a type of metamorphic rock known as schist. This process involves recrystallization of the minerals within the slate, resulting in the development of a distinctive foliated texture characteristic of schist.
What are three types of foliated rock?
Metamorphic rocks are catagorized into two main types: foliated and non-foliated. Three examples of foliated metamorphic rocks are gniess, slate and schist. Some non-foliated rocks include marble, amphibolite and quartzite. Generally, metamorphic rock, and the metamorphic processes can be divided into three categories: regional, contact, and cataclastic.
Where in the U S is schist found?
== == Schists are abundant in the Precambrian (Archeozoic and Proterozoic) rocks. Schists are usually the product of regional metamorphism of existing rock, usually sedimentary, but sometimes of fine grained igneous rock. Schist could therefore be found where eroded mountains reveal the rock, or in areas of glacial deposition of eroded schist.
How can a igneous rock change into a metaphoric rock?
An igneous rock can change into a metamorphic rock through the process of metamorphism, which involves heat and pressure altering the mineral composition and texture of the rock. This can occur deep within the Earth's crust where high temperatures and pressures are present, causing the minerals in the igneous rock to recrystallize and form a new metamorphic rock.
Can igneous rock be formed into a metamorphic rock?
An igneous rock can be metamorphosed (changed) into a metamorphic rock but will no longer be an igneous rock. An igneous body can be intruded into metamorphic rocks but will still be an igneous rock that is different from the surrounding metamorphic rocks.
