What kind of rock is produced when sedimentary sandstone undergoes metamorphism?
quartizite
Is sandstone a non-metallic mineral?

What kind of rocks are exposed to wind rain and ice?
Sandstone, especially if it hasn't completely formed
What kind of scientists worked with geolgists to develop the geologic the scale?
Biologists
Suppose that sandstone contained a fish fossil Due to the movement of tectonic plates this rock is exposed to high heat and pressure and becomes quartzite Would the quartzite still contain the fossil?
It would be highly unlikely. When a rock undergoes metamorphasis the minerals in the sample often move small distances and aggregate with others of its kind. This process would obliterate the traces of fossils in most instances.
