What are the two changes of a rock of metamorphism?
When rock changes into metamorphic rock, its appearance, texture, crystal structure, and mineral content change.
Why does the color of granite never change?
The colour of granite does in fact change. For example it will change during the weathering process where feldspar minerals will change to clay minerals such as kaolinite. If the degree of weathering is high this can significantly alter the colour of the granite.
What is the difference between disintegration and decomposition of rock?
Disintegration is fragmentation of rock and there is no chemical change during or after this process. Decomposition is resulting in the destruction of some or all of the unstable minerals and thus chemical change occur and new minerals are formed.
What is it called when chemical reactions dissolve the minerals in rock or change them into different minerals?
It's called dissolution, a form of chemical weathering.
Can a mineral become ice?
no minerals cant change to ice becuase it can only freeze outside not inside
How does granite rock change to gniess?
When emplaced granite is subjected to pressures and temperatures from mountain building processes due to tectonic plate movements, the component minerals are essentially realigned perpendicularly to the direction of the stress.
Is a liquid at normal temperatures and pressures a physical or chemical change?
A liquid at normal temperatures and pressures is a physical change. When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid or from a gas to a liquid without any chemical reactions taking place, it is considered a physical change.
WhatA solid does NOT change its?
shape or volume in different containers or when subjected to different pressures or temperatures.
Which can change from one state of matter to another at the temperatures and pressures experienced at Earth and surface?
water
Which gas can change from one state of matter to another at the temperatures and pressures experienced at earth's surface?
Several of them.
Why cant color be used to identify minerals?
Color can change in a mineral when in certain temperatures
Why do fossils change?
Fossils can change due to a variety of reasons such as erosion, pressure, and chemical reactions. Over time, the original organic material may be replaced by minerals, leading to changes in composition. Factors like temperature and moisture levels in the environment can also contribute to fossil alteration.
Which type of strain permanently changes rocks?
Plastic strain, which occurs under high temperatures and pressures, can permanently change rocks by causing them to deform without breaking. This type of strain can lead to the development of new minerals and structures within the rock.
What are normal R22 operating pressures?
The pressures depend on the temperatures so it is not possible to give "normal" temperatures. The pressures change with the outdoor and indoor temperatures. You need to be EPA certified to attach gauges to the unit to check the pressures.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels?
Contact metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels. This process occurs when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures due to contact with a magma intrusion, leading to the recrystallization of minerals in the original rock. Hornfels is typically formed under these conditions and is characterized by a fine-grained, non-foliated texture.
Do many metamorphic rocks have fossils in them?
it shows fossils because when sedimentary rocks are formed waste and decayed matter get cement( crushed ) togather. The change of mineral forms metamorphic rocks, but the fossils will remain in the rocks only the minerals will change. eg Limestone ----- marble. Limestone forms marble which is used to build taj mahal.
How can mudstone be changed into a metamorphic rock?
Mudstone can be changed into a metamorphic rock through the process of metamorphism, where it is subjected to high temperature and pressure. This causes recrystallization of minerals, reorganization of grains, and the development of new mineral assemblages, transforming the mudstone into a new metamorphic rock such as slate, schist, or gneiss.
