What else can I help you with?
What kind of minerals are found in the new England colonies?
Granite , limestone and gneiss
What is a foliated dense rock that has light and dark colored banding?
Gneiss
World's tallest stone structure?
1. San Jacinto Memorial (TEXAS) 567.31-foot 172.9 m 2. The Washington Monument (U.S.A) 555 feet 5⅛ inches 169.294 m 3. Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt) 481 Feet 146.6 meters This is a tough one, the San Jacinto Memorial is made of reinforced concrete - does this count as a 'stone structure'? Does this question then include towers and concrete buildings? - if so the Juche memorial tower in North Korea would come in second, taller than The Washington Monument. The Washington Monument is a genuine stone structure made of bluestone gneiss as well as other commemorative stones, and should be counted as the tallest.
How could you easily distinguish a black and white gnesis from a similar colored granite?
Gneiss has a definite foliation of fabric, granite does not.
Is this a description for gneiss rock can be made from granite wavy bands of dark and light layers?
Yes, that description fits gneiss rock. Gneiss forms from the metamorphism of granite or other rocks, resulting in distinct wavy bands of dark and light mineral layers. This banding is a key characteristic of gneiss and helps distinguish it from granite.
How is gneiss similar to granite?
Granite is an igneous rock and gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
Does gneiss form from granite?
Gneiss may form from either granite or schist.
What is the daughter rock of granite?
The daughter rock of granite is gneiss. Gneiss forms from the metamorphism of granite, where the minerals in the granite recrystallize and align into distinct bands or layers, giving gneiss its characteristic appearance.
Which feature would easily distinguish schist and gneiss from quartzite and marble?
The presence of visible minerals aligned in bands or layers would distinguish schist and gneiss from quartzite and marble. Schist and gneiss show foliation due to intense metamorphism, while quartzite and marble are more homogenous in texture.
Does granite turn into gneiss?
It can.
What rock is gneiss from?
Gneiss can be formed by the metamrphism of either granite or schist.
What forms gneiss?
Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.
What metamorphic rock is for from granite?
gneiss
Is gneiss harder that granite?
yes
How are gneiss rocks different that granite rocks?
Gneiss rocks are products of metamorphism while granite rocks are derived from igneous activity.
