What else can I help you with?
Granite is a low-density rock that makes up the what crust?
Granitic rock forms the majority of the continental crust.
The light colored rock that makes up most of the continental crust is what?
The light colored rock that makes up most of the continental crust is granite. It is a coarse-grained igneous rock composed mainly of quartz and feldspar minerals. Granite is less dense than the dark basaltic rock that makes up oceanic crust.
What rock makes up 90 percent of the earth's crust?
Igneous rock comprises the majority of Earth's crust.
What is the Light colored rock that makes up the continental crust?
The light-colored rock that makes up the continental crust is called granite. Granite is a coarse-grained igneous rock composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica. It is less dense and more buoyant than the darker basaltic rock that makes up the oceanic crust.
What is the rock that makes up oceanic crust?
The rock that makes up oceanic crust is primarily basalt. Basalt is a fine-grained, dark volcanic rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten lava at or near the Earth's surface.
What rock is quartzite formed from?
metemorphic rock
Is garnet a metemorphic rock yes or no?
yes
Is a igneous rock marble?
No. Marble is a Metamorphic rock.
What is the difference between basaltic and frantic igneous rock?
There sedimentary igneous and metemorphic
What are 2 conditions that cause sedimentary rock to change to metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure changes sedimantary rock (limestone) into metemorphic rock(gnesis).
How does a metemorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?
By being first weathered into loose material (clast), then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated.
What is the name of a black metemorphic rock with a pink stripe going through it?
Gneiss is a likely prospect.
What is the structure of a quartzite rock?
Quartizite is a metemorphic rock that is either regional or contact. It is made when lava rises to the earths crust, and heats the sedimentatry rock around it.
What are sone examples of metemorphic rock?
Some examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, schist, and gneiss. These rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure and temperature underground.
What does metemorphic mean?
im not really sure
How do metemorphic rocks form?
they form by heat and presssure
What are some examples of metemorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have been transformed by great heat or pressure caused by movement in the Earth's crust.Examples include schist, gneiss, and slate
