What kind soil do Piedmont plateau have?
The Piedmont plateau typically has clay-based soil that is rich in nutrients. The soil is formed by the weathering of the underlying bedrock, such as granite, gneiss, and schist. It is well-suited for agriculture and supports a variety of crops.
Is schist the same as mica schist?
No, schist is a metamorphic rock type characterized by strong foliation, while mica schist is a specific type of schist that contains a high proportion of mica minerals like muscovite or biotite. Mica schist has a distinct shiny appearance due to the abundance of mica minerals.
What would distinguish marble from Schist?
Marble is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock made of carbonate minerals, particularly calcite. It is formed by the metamorphism or limestone. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock made of silicate minerals such as quartz and feldspars, and micas. It forms from the metamorphism of granite or schist.
Is mica garnet and chloride in schist?
Mica and garnet are commonly found in schist. Chloride is not typically found in schist; rather, it is often associated with evaporites or in hydrothermal systems.
What igneous rock can be changed into schist?
Igneous rock like granite can be changed into schist through the process of metamorphism, where intense heat and pressure cause recrystallization of the minerals. This process can occur deep within the Earth's crust, transforming the granite into a foliated metamorphic rock like schist.
What kind of rock is schist rock?
Schist is a metamorphic rock.
Metamorphic rock formed from basalt?
Schist
What kind of rock is formed from the metamorphic of shale?
The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.
Is schist rock by an active volcano?
Generally not. Schist is a metamorphic rock formed when other rock types are exposed to immense pressure. If schist is found near a volcano, it is only by coincidence.
What are ways to get schist?
Schist is a foliated metamorphic rock. It is formed when mudstone, shale, slate, or phyllite are subjected to higher temperature and pressure.
What metamorphic rocks are formed from mudstones?
Slate,schist,gneiss are the metamorphic rock formed from mudstone.
What is a metamorphic rock made from schist?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock formed when intense heat and/or pressure is applied to it's parent rock schist.
What rock is gneiss from?
Gneiss can be formed by the metamrphism of either granite or schist.
How do rocks form in earth?
it is formed from aouther rock called schist
A metamorphic rock formed from basalt?
Greenschist. It is schist
What rock is formed when limestone is transformed to a metamorphic rock?
Marble, or sometimes schist.
At divergent boundaries is what metamorphism results from extrusion of basaltic lava?
A metamorphic rock formed from Basalt is Schist. a.k.a. Green Schist
