What rock group does metaconglomerate belong to?
Metaconglomerate is a "metamorphic" rock whose parent rock type was a sedimentary rock.
Is metaconglomerate an igneous rock?
No, metaconglomerate is a metamorphic rock, hence the "meta-" addition in front of the usually sedimentary rock conglomerate.
What is the scientific name for metaconglomerate rock?
Metamorphosed sedimentary conglomerate is referred to as metaconglomerate.
What is the parent rock of metaconglomerate?
Conglomerate Rock.
What is the parent of metaconglomerate?
Conglomerate Rock.
What rock is formed when conglomerate is transformed to metamorphic rock?
It is called metaconglomerate.
What is the protolith of meta conglomerate?
The protolith of metaconglomerate is a sedimentary rock called conglomerate. Conglomerate is composed of rounded gravel-sized clasts that are cemented together. Through the process of metamorphism, this sedimentary rock undergoes changes in temperature and pressure to form metaconglomerate.
Is metaconglomerate foliated or non-foliated?
Metaconglomerate is classified as a non-foliated metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of conglomerate rock, where the large clasts remain distinct and do not align in a preferred orientation, which is characteristic of foliation. As a result, metaconglomerate typically exhibits a more granular texture without the layered appearance found in foliated rocks.
What type of rock will metaconglomerate become if it were melted and and cooled underground?
Any rock that becomes molten and then solidifies underground will be classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
What is the original name of metaconglomerate?
"Metaconglomerate" is the name given to a conglomerate after undergoing metamorphism.
What rock types are mineral rocks?
Granite, quartzite, marble, metaconglomerate, and many more rocks just to name a few. :-D
What does conglomerate change into after heat and pressure?
Metaconglomerate.
