What was gneiss before it undertook heat and pressure?

A mixture of sand and clay, mudstone, metamorphose (process of changing from one type of rock into a metamorphic rock) into gneiss rocks or schist rocks. The mudstones would change under heat and pressure to make the new Metamorphic rocks.


What do scientists need know about geologic formations to make a geologic map?

To have a scientist make a geologic map, they need to know something about geologic formation to show what the map is meaning. They use color to show the differences of the kind of rock and its age.


What type of rock do heat and pressure make?

Heat and pressure can result in the formation of metamorphic rock from pre-existing rocks. This process involves the recrystallization of minerals, the development of new textures, and the reorganization of the rock's internal structure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, quartzite, and slate.


What does metamorphic means?

Metamorphic refers to the process in which rocks are changed by heat, pressure, or fluids deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to recrystallize and restructure, resulting in the formation of new minerals and textures. Metamorphic rocks typically have a layered or banded appearance.


True or false most of the earth's crust is made up of a mix of metamorphic and igneous rock?

False. The Earth's crust is primarily composed of igneous rocks, while metamorphic rocks make up a smaller percentage. Sedimentary rocks also play a significant role in the composition of the Earth's crust.
