The most common metamorphic rock made from granite?
The most common metamorphic rock made from granite is gneiss. Gneiss forms from the metamorphism of granite, which results in the segregation of different mineral layers that give gneiss its characteristic banding pattern.
Granite changes to?
Granite is a type of igneous rock that forms from the cooling of molten magma deep within the Earth's crust. Over time, geological processes such as heat and pressure can metamorphose granite into gneiss, a high-grade metamorphic rock with distinct layering or banding.

Why are metamorphic rocks often found near granite?
Intrusions of granite plutons change the surrounding rock through heat in a process known as contact metamorphism. Crustal collisions which may precipitate the melting of crustal material and its rise to the surface (and the creation of granite), also give rise to pressures and heat which can metamorphose other igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks in the surrounding area which is called regional metamorphism.
When granite is subjected to high enough amounts of heat and pressure to change it but not melt it granite changes into what type of rock?
When granite is subjected to high heat and pressure, it can change into a metamorphic rock known as gneiss. Gneiss typically exhibits a banded appearance due to the reorganization of minerals within the rock under these conditions.
Metamorphic equivalent of granite?
no
What is the most common metamorphic rock that is made by granite?
Granite gneiss.
What metamorphic rock does granite crystallize?
Granite usually metamorphoses into gneiss.
What metamorphic rock is for from granite?
gneiss
Where is granite and metamorphic formed?
on earth
What type of metamorphic rock is similar to granite?
A type of metamorphic rock similar to granite is gneiss. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock that has a similar composition to granite but displays a banded texture due to the alignment of mineral grains during metamorphism.
How can granite change into metamorphic without changing into sedimentary?
Granite becomes metamorphic by being subjected to immense heat and pressure, turning into gneiss.
How is gneiss similar to granite?
Granite is an igneous rock and gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
What metamorphic rock does granite turn into after heat and pressure?
Granite will become gneiss.
What is a metamorphic rock that was once granite?
Gneiss
How do you change granite from sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rocks?
Gneiss is a foilated metamorphic rock.
A metamorphic rock formed form granite?
Gneiss
