Does gneiss turn into shale?
No. its the opposite. gneiss forms after shale goes through metamorphism
How does a sedimentary rock turn into a metamorphic rock then into an igneous rock?
First, through metamorphism, then by melting and magmatism.
Is granite formed from lava cooling or magma cooling?
Not from the magma, no. Cooled and solidified magma is classified as igneous. However, metamorphic rocks can be formed as the heat and hot fluids of intruding magma affect the properties and possibly the chemistry of the existing "country rock" into which it comes in contact. This process is called contact metamorphism.
Which type of metamorphism is associated with orogens?
Regional Metamorphism
If metamorphism occurs due to heat generated by magma it is called what?
It is called contact metamorphism.
Is granite formed from the metamorphism of a shale?
No. The metamorphism of shale forms slate. Granite is formed when high-silica magma cools underground.
How is Unakite formed?
Hydrothermal metamorphism of a granite prototype.
What type of rock would result from the metamorphism of granite?
Granite is Igneous rock. It crystallizes from hot melt (magma). Metamorphic rocks can be found associated with granite as result of their contact with country (surrounding) rocks. This will be a contact metamorphism. Metamorphism of granite it self results into granitic gneisses which are coarse foliated rocks.
What would you call a granite that has undergone metamorphism and now exhibits foliation?
gneiss
How are gneiss rocks different that granite rocks?
Gneiss rocks are products of metamorphism while granite rocks are derived from igneous activity.
What are the types of rock metamorphism?
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)
What can metamorphism do?
metamorphism is when a Igneous and sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rock.
Can granite turn into slate?
No. . . .granite not turn into slate. . . .shale is turn into slate.
What is the parent rock of migmatite?
granite. it's very simmilar to Gneiss but lower grade of metamorphism
Does pumice rock turn into granite after its process?
no pumice rock does not turn into granite.
What geologic process change granite igneous rock into gneiss metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure cause granite to change to gneiss.
Why are metamorphic rocks often found near granite?
Intrusions of granite plutons change the surrounding rock through heat in a process known as contact metamorphism. Crustal collisions which may precipitate the melting of crustal material and its rise to the surface (and the creation of granite), also give rise to pressures and heat which can metamorphose other igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks in the surrounding area which is called regional metamorphism.
