What is formed from shale exposed to great pressure?
Shale exposed to great pressure can form slate, a fine-grained metamorphic rock. The intense pressure and heat cause the clay minerals in the shale to recrystallize, resulting in a denser and more durable rock with distinct foliation.
What does the metamorphic rock quartzite turn into because of pressure and heat?
Quartzite is already a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone under high pressure and heat. It does not transform into another mineral due to pressure and heat.
Gneiss is formed from what rock?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock. It is formed form another metamorphic rock called schist (sh-ist). Schist is formed form fine grained sedimentary rock (often shale). While gneiss is formed by great pressure from moving plates of the earth's crust.
Why is pressure 500 feet under the ocean greater than the pressure 500 feet under the great lakes?
The pressure under the ocean is greater than under the Great Lakes because the density of seawater is higher than freshwater. Seawater is also influenced by the weight of the water column above due to the depth of the ocean, leading to higher pressure.
Rocks at great depths are under?
Rocks at great depths are under high pressure and temperature due to the weight of the overlying rocks. This can cause the rocks to undergo changes in texture and composition, such as metamorphism, and can also influence the behavior of fluids within the rocks.
Plants and animals that lived in the oceans formed the fossil fuel called?
Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed in ancient swamps from the remains of plants and animals under great heat and pressure over millions of years. A liquid fossil fuel formed in oceans from the remains of plants and animals under great heat and pressure of millions of years is called oil.
What is an example of a metamorphic rock that is formed when heated under pressure?
Slate is silt changed under pressure.
How was quartz formed?
it was formed from extreme pressure for a long time under the earth.
What is sedimentary rock formed under pressure?
compaction!(:
Are chocolate diamonds formed under high pressure?
Yes, chocolate diamonds are formed under high pressure deep within the earth's mantle. The high pressure and temperature cause carbon atoms to crystallize into diamonds, which can vary in color, including chocolate tones.
Does exposure to air help metamorphic rocks form?
No metamorphic rocks are formed deep in the crust under great temperature and pressure. No air is down there.
What is formed from shale exposed to great pressure?
Shale exposed to great pressure can form slate, a fine-grained metamorphic rock. The intense pressure and heat cause the clay minerals in the shale to recrystallize, resulting in a denser and more durable rock with distinct foliation.
Does diamond explode under immense heat?
No, diamonds are formed under immense heat and pressure.
What is the gemstone which is formed under extreme pressure?
Diamond is the gemstone that is formed under extreme pressure deep within the Earth's mantle. The intense heat and pressure cause carbon atoms to crystallize into diamond over millions of years.
What does the metamorphic rock quartzite turn into because of pressure and heat?
Quartzite is already a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone under high pressure and heat. It does not transform into another mineral due to pressure and heat.
What type of rock is formed by putting limestone under heat and pressure?
By the metamorphosis of limestone, marble is formed. By the thermal decomposition of limestone, quicklime is formed. Which process depends on the temperature and pressure.
What element is formed into diamond under extreme heat and pressure?
The element is carbon.
