A metabasic rock is an igneous rock formed at deeper than crustal conditions. They are often metastable and alter to more traditional crustal rocks as they are exhumed.
Metabasics are important because they contain the only record we have of Mantle chemistry, and some may be subducted ancient oceanic crust which worked it's way back to the surface.

What type of rock is meta-conglomerate?
the meta conglomerate is a metamorphic rock it's mineral composition is from quartz & it has a non- foliated texture, it's formed via temprature (the agent of metamorphism) & the type of metamorphism is said to be "thermal" & the pre-metamorphic rock is conglomerate.
How is meta conglomerate different from conglomerate?
A meta-conglomerate is a large corporation made up of multiple conglomerates and operating in diverse industries, while a conglomerate is a corporation that owns multiple smaller companies in different industries. Essentially, a meta-conglomerate is a conglomerate of conglomerates.
One of the eight basic rock forming minerals?
Quartz is one of the eight basic rock-forming minerals, also known as the "Rock-Forming Minerals of the Earth's Crust." It is abundant in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, contributing to the structure and composition of many rock types. Along with quartz, other common rock-forming minerals include feldspar, mica, amphibole, pyroxene, olivine, calcite, and garnet.
What is the name of the model that illustrates the origin of the three basic rock types?
The model that illustrates the origin of the three basic rock types is called the rock cycle. It shows how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are interrelated through processes like melting, cooling, weathering, and metamorphism.
The five basic substances involved in the rock cycle?
The five basic substances involved in the rock cycle are igneous rock, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock, magma, and sediment. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma, while sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediment. Metamorphic rocks are created through the alteration of existing rocks under high pressure and temperature conditions. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while sediment consists of particles derived from the weathering and erosion of rocks. These substances interact and transform in a continuous cycle known as the rock cycle.
What particles are an asteroid made of?
Meta, rock, and/or water
Why does aniline when subjected to nitration conditions followed by a basic work up form the meta nitroanline and not ortho or para?
It reacts with the acidic conditions (since the NH2 is basic) to form the meta-directing electron withdrawing group NH3. This forms the meta-nitroaniline.
The word elements meta and morph are Latin for?
hidden and rock
Is metaconglomerate an igneous rock?
No, metaconglomerate is a metamorphic rock, hence the "meta-" addition in front of the usually sedimentary rock conglomerate.
Is a meta conglomerate a metamorphic igneous or a sedimentary?
It is a metamorphic rock formed from a progenitor sedimentary rock called a "conglomerate".
Which two rocks could be cut into building blocks to make walls of buildings?
Igneous rock and Meta-igneous rock.
What type of rock is meta-conglomerate?
the meta conglomerate is a metamorphic rock it's mineral composition is from quartz & it has a non- foliated texture, it's formed via temprature (the agent of metamorphism) & the type of metamorphism is said to be "thermal" & the pre-metamorphic rock is conglomerate.
Type of rockformed from sediments called?
A rock formed for sedimentary deposits is called a sedimentary rock. A sedimentary rock which has then undergone metamorphism is called a meta-sediment.
What process has to accure for a rock to become metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock "meta-morphs," or changes, from other rock forms, typically sedimentary, through a combination of heat, pressure, and of course time.
What grain structure does gneiss have?
Gneiss which is a non-foliated meta-igneous rock is coarse grained in texture.
What kind of rock is sandstone?
at its most basic sandstone is a sedimentary rock.
