What does granite changes into?

If broken down it turns into sandstone. If morphed it turns into gneiss.


Which turn sandstone into gneiss?

The metamorphic process that turns sandstone into gneiss is called regional metamorphism. This process involves high temperature and pressure conditions deep within the Earth's crust, causing the minerals in the sandstone to recrystallize and align in layers to form gneiss. The distinctive banding and foliation of gneiss are a result of this intense metamorphic transformation.


What forms gneiss?

Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.


How does metamorphism change sandstone?

Sandstone can metamorphose into quartzite.


Is gneiss a limestone or sandstone?

Gneiss is neither limestone nor sandstone. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that forms from the transformation of pre-existing rocks such as granite or sedimentary rocks under high heat and pressure. The resulting gneiss typically exhibits banded layers of minerals.


What metamorphic rock does shale and granite turn into?

Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.


What is the daughter rock of granite?

The daughter rock of granite is gneiss. Gneiss forms from the metamorphism of granite, where the minerals in the granite recrystallize and align into distinct bands or layers, giving gneiss its characteristic appearance.


What is granite that has been metamorphised?

It turns into Gneiss


Can sandstone turn in to marble?

No. Limestone turns into marble, not sandstone.


What are Canada's most common rock?

Sandstone and basalt are changed by heat and pressure to form?

Sandstone is changed into quartzite and basalt is changed into schist or gneiss through the process of metamorphism.
