What was slate before being metamorphosed?
it is made of granite
Can granite become marble?
Granite cannot metamorphose into marble. Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone.
What metamorphic is equivalent to Granite?
Metamorphosed sandstone may become quartzite and limestone may become marble.
What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
What type of rock would result from the metamorphism of granite?
Granite is Igneous rock. It crystallizes from hot melt (magma). Metamorphic rocks can be found associated with granite as result of their contact with country (surrounding) rocks. This will be a contact metamorphism. Metamorphism of granite it self results into granitic gneisses which are coarse foliated rocks.
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
What type of metamorphic rock is similar to granite?
Gneiss is the metamorphosed type of granite.
What was slate before being metamorphosed?
it is made of granite
When granite rocks get metamorphosed they changes into?
marble
Can granite become marble?
Granite cannot metamorphose into marble. Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone.
What forms gneiss?
Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.
Granite rock subject to stress it may be metamorphosed into a rock called?
gneiss
Is marble a volcanic rock?
No, it is a metamorphic rock. (metamorphosed limestone)
Does gneiss fizzle when hydrochloric acid touches it?
No. Gneiss is metamorphosed granite. It does not contain any carbonates so it does not fizz.
What metamorphic is equivalent to Granite?
Metamorphosed sandstone may become quartzite and limestone may become marble.
Gneiss and slate are what type of rocks?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock would be:Quartzite - composed of the mineral quartz; metamorphosed sandstoneMarble - composed of the mineral calcite; metamorphosed limestone
What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
