What else can I help you with?
A sheet of igneous rock that protrudes into the surrounding layers of rock?
It is called a dike.
What rock is graphite?
Yes. Graphite is a mineral with a crystalline structure.
How is the igneous rock changed to sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock goes deep in the Earth and reaches magma. It then melts and becomes part of the magma. Since the newly formed magma is less dense than the surrounding rock it is lighter than the surrounding rock and it goes up and cools. It then becomes an Igneous rock.
Can the interaction between magma and surrounding rock cause changes in the rock?
Yes. The rock will get hot, of course, and some pieces of rock will become magma itself.
What is the geologic term for a tabular body of igneous rock that is parallel to the surrounding rock layers?
It's called a concordant igneous intrusion, or a sill.
What is the process for using heat to separate gold from rock called?
The process of using heat to separate gold from rock is called smelting. During smelting, the rock containing gold is heated at high temperatures to melt the gold, allowing it to separate from the surrounding rock material.
Is graphite a clastic rock or a non clastic rock?
Graphite is a non-clastic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of organic material, usually from sedimentary rocks like shale. As the organic matter undergoes heat and pressure, it transforms into graphite, which is a crystalline form of carbon.
Is Graphite soft?
No, graphite is not soft. In fact, if you find a graphite rock, it is extremely hard. It is often very colorful, though.
What is graphite schist?
It is a medium-grade metamorphic rock with a preponderance of the platy mineral graphite.
Where is graphite for pencils found?
sometimes under ground.but as graphite is a rock it is mostly found in its rocky form
Is graphite igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Graphite is a metamorphic rock. It is formed from the metamorphism of organic sedimentary rocks, such as coal, under high temperature and pressure.
Do pencils have rocks or minerals in them?
Pencils contain graphite, which is a crystalline form of carbon. Graphite is not considered a rock or mineral, as it is composed solely of carbon atoms.
What igneous rock does graphite turn into?
Party Rocking in my pants
Does magnetite conduct electricity?
Rock is generally an insulator. Note that the color of a rock is usually not a good indicator of is composition of properties.
What is the opposite of surrounding?
Wouldn't that be MONO. ;-)
Removing a fossil from rock is called?
Removing a fossil from rock is called fossil extraction or fossil preparation. This process requires delicate tools and techniques to carefully separate the fossil from the surrounding rock without damaging it.
What rock is used for manufacturing of pencil?
It is graphite, a soft crystalline carbon.
