Is magma a example of a mineral that indicates that a metamorphic rock was formed in a great depth and under a extreme heat and pressure?
No, magma itself is not a mineral; it is a molten rock that can crystallize to form igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, form from existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) under extreme heat and pressure, typically deep within the Earth. The presence of certain minerals, such as garnet or kyanite, can indicate the conditions of high pressure and temperature during metamorphism.
Why happens to a mineral during smelting?
it start to melt
How is feldspar formed?
. Feldspar is formed throught a process in witch immense heat and pressure over a mperiod of time turns to a mineral. This process usually happens in the mantle. The mineral can also form in natural places, and it makes up 60% of Earths crust. Feldspar can be formed almost anywhere.
What mineral's stronger than diamond?
Strong is an interesting verb, implying able to withstand pressure. Diamond is known as the 'hardest' natural mineral.
Which forces allow for mineral growth and change within metamorphic rocks?
It is heat and pressure.
Can crystallines liquefy under pressure?
Crystallines can liquefy under pressure if it is sufficiently high. Generally the opposite happens where they become more dense and compressed as the pressure increases.
What is a diamond's mineral name?
A diamond's mineral name is carbon. Diamonds are formed from crystallized carbon under high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's mantle.
Why do the mineral water sparkle?
It doesn't - the 'sparkle' is carbon dioxide gas injected into the drink under pressure.
What mineral within a metamorphic rock that can be used to provide a narrow constraint on the temperature and pressure of formation of the rock is termed?
The mineral is called garnet. It is commonly used as an indicator mineral in metamorphic rocks to determine the temperature and pressure conditions under which the rock formed, due to its specific stability range.
How does amethysts form?
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is the chemical composition of amethyst. It is a mineral which is formed like anyother mineral under the earths crust due to heat and pressure.
What is sparkling mineral water?
Sparkling mineral water is also known as club soda and soda water. It is made by under pressure of carbon dioxide gas with water.
What happens to the mineral when a rock becomes metamorphic?
Minerals may get changed to other minerals forming a new rock. Mineral grains also become aligned in response to the increased pressure.
Is a diamond metamorphic rock?
Diamond is a mineral that can only form under certain conditions of heat and pressure. Although it will appear in metamorphic rock, it is not itself a metamorphic rock, but a mineral.
Is quartz a solid liquid or a gas?
Under normal conditions of temperature and pressure the mineral Quartz is a crystalline solid.
What happens when rocks are under great heat and pressure?
When rocks are under great heat and pressure, they can undergo metamorphism, which changes their mineral composition and texture without melting them. This process can lead to the formation of new minerals and characteristic foliation. If the rocks are subjected to even higher temperatures, they may eventually melt and form igneous rocks.
What happens when limestone is put under heat and pressure?
It could recrystallize and form marble, under specific conditions of heat and pressure.
When limestone is heated under pressure what does it form?
When limestone is heated under pressure, it forms marble. This process, known as metamorphism, occurs when the mineral calcite in the limestone recrystallizes into the interlocking calcite crystals that compose marble.
