Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by what?
Shale can be metamorphosed into slate through the process of low-grade regional metamorphism, which involves heat and pressure causing the minerals within the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated structure characteristic of slate.
What type of metamorphic rock could be produced from mud?
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
Can granite become marble?
No, granite cannot become marble. Granite and marble are two distinct types of rocks formed under different geological conditions. Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten rock, while marble is a metamorphic rock formed from the recrystallization of limestone.
Limestone is the parent rock of this?
Limestone is the parent rock of marble. The word marble can be used to refer to both metamorphosed and unmetamorphosed limestone.
Is coal an igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
Bituminous coal is consided a sedimentary rock. Anthracite coal is bituminous coal that has been metamorphosed by great pressure and heat and is considered a metamorphic rock.
What are 3 specific types of metamorphic rocks and what was their parent rock?
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
Name one metamorphosed rock from a sedimentary rock?
Quartzite
Granite rock subject to stress it may be metamorphosed into a rock called?
gneiss
Is marble an intrusive rock?
No, marble is a metamorphosed limestone, which itself is a sedimentary rock.
Is serpentine rock sedimentary or igneous?
Serpentine is a type of metamorphosed sedimentary rock.
What rock is formed when limestone is metamorphosed?
Marble is formed when limestone is metamorphosed. This process occurs when the mineral calcite in limestone recrystallizes due to heat and pressure, resulting in a denser, harder rock with a crystalline structure.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
Is marble a metomorphic rock?
Yes, marble is metamorphosed limestone.
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
List 2 ways rocks can be metamorphosed?
by heat and pressure on the rock
What rock is slate but in the past it was shale?
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.
Can an igneous rock be changed?
Yes, igneous rocks can be metamorphosed or weathered and eroded.
