What does gneiss form into
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/15
There is no grade of metamorphism beyond gneiss. Higher grades
of metamorphism mean higher temperature and pressure. Beyond the
conditions that form gneiss, temperatures are high enough to melt
rock, at which point the resulting rock will be igneous rather than
metamorphic.
