What rock will you find in the Mantle?
The mantle, or interior of the Earth is made up of mostly of rocks that have high amounts of silicon and aluminum. There is also an abundance of nickel and iron in the mantle.
What metamorphic rocks that form at over 1500 degrees Celsius?
Metamorphic rocks that form at over 1500 degrees Celsius include eclogite and granulite. These rocks are typically formed under high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's lower crust or upper mantle. They exhibit unique mineral assemblages and textures due to the extreme conditions under which they were formed.
At temperature 600 degree centigrade and 14 kb basalt metamorphism produces?
At a temperature of 600 degrees Celsius and 14 kilobars pressure, basalt metamorphism typically produces minerals such as amphibole, pyroxene, and plagioclase feldspar, resulting in the formation of greenschist or amphibolite facies metamorphic rocks. These minerals form in response to the high temperature and pressure conditions, leading to changes in the original basaltic rock composition.
How does metamorphism affect baslt?
Basalt when metamorphosed turns to the following rocks: (LEAST PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE TO THE MOST) + mineralogy -Greenschist-albite, epidote, chlorite -Amphibolite-amphioble, plagioclase feldspar -Granulite-calcium-rich pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar -Eclogite-sodium-rich pyroxene and garnet
What layer of earth is coal found?
Coal is found in various places like underground. It is mainly found in the crust but very rarely found in the mantel.
What is the source of the carbon in diamonds that are found in eclogite?
the source is the magma
What type of rock is mostly found in mantle?
The rocks found in the mantle are usually olivine, pyroxenes, spinal structure minerals, and garnet. Some others are peridotite, dunite, and eclogite.
What type of rock is eclogite?
metamorphic
Why is peridotite more predominant in the upper mantle than eclogite?
Two reasons: first, peridotite is native to the mantle where as eclogite is formed from the metamorphism of oceanic crust; secondly, eclogite has a much higher density than peridotite and so it sinks to the lower mantle.
What makes the eclogite rock?
Extreme metamorphism of oceanic crustal basalt.
What is metamorphic rocks's names?
quartzite, slate, gneiss, marlbe, migmitite, amphibolite, serpenrinite, eclogite. that's all i have from my school papers. quartzite, slate, gneiss, marlbe, migmitite, amphibolite, serpenrinite, eclogite. that's all i have from my school papers.
What rock will you find in the Mantle?
The mantle, or interior of the Earth is made up of mostly of rocks that have high amounts of silicon and aluminum. There is also an abundance of nickel and iron in the mantle.
What can metamorphic rocks change into?
Greenschist, blueschist, zeolite, granulite and eclogite high grade metamorphic rocks.
Which metamorphic facies represents the highest temperature and pressure conditions?
It's eclogite facies.
10 examples of metamorphic rocks?
- Amphibolite - Eclogite - Gneiss - Greenstone - Hornfels - Marble - Migmatite - Phyllite - Quartzite (Metaquartzite) - Schist - Slate - Soapstone
Basalt can change into what metamorphic rock?
When basalt undergoes metamorphism, it can change into a metamorphic rock called greenstone. Greenstone is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that forms from the alteration of basalt through metamorphic processes like recrystallization and the growth of new minerals.
What are rocks that come from the mantle?
Rocks that come from the mantle are called mantle rocks. These rocks are typically formed deep within the Earth's mantle and can include peridotite, dunite, and eclogite. Mantle rocks are brought to the surface through processes like volcanic eruptions or tectonic movements.
