What else can I help you with?
Name one metamorphosed rock from a sedimentary rock?
Quartzite
What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
Is quartzite rock fine grained course grained or medium grained?
Coarse
What test could you perform to tell a quartzite rock from a marble rock?
One would be a scratch test. The quartzite is much harder than the marble. Another test would be the use of dilute hydrochloric acid, which will cause decomposition of the calcite minerals forming the marble.
What are some examples of parent rocks?
Parent Rock / Metamorphosed Parent Rock:Limestone / MarbleShale / SlateSandstone / Quartzite
Is quartzite an igneous rock?
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock.
What is a nickname for quartzite?
Quartzite is often referred to as "quartzite rock" or simply "quartzite." It is a metamorphic rock that is composed primarily of quartz grains.
Which metamorphic rock had a nonfoliated texture?
Quartzite
What does quartzite morph into?
It doesn't. Granite is an igneous rock, not metamorphic. However, quartzite is metamorphic and is made from sandstone.
What rock comes from quartzite in the rock cycle?
Quartzite comes under the metamorphic section of rocks.
What rock is quartzite formed from?
metemorphic rock
What type of rock is the quartzite rock?
metamorphic
What rocks comes before quartzite in the rock cycle?
Quartzite is sandstone (sedimentary rock) that has metamorphosed from heat and pressure.
Metamorphic rock formed from sandstone?
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. The process involves heat and pressure altering the sandstone's mineral composition, causing quartz grains to recrystallize and fuse together, resulting in a harder, more durable rock. Quartzite is known for its smooth texture, high resistance to weathering, and distinctive white color.
Is quartzite sedimentary or igneous?
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
What sedimentary rock may become quartzite?
A sedimentary rock that may become quartzite is sandstone. Through the process of metamorphism, the sandstone can be transformed into quartzite, which is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz crystals.
What was quatzite?
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock, that, in most cases, is 5,000 years old. Even thogh this rock is called Quartzite, it is not made from quartz. Instead, Quartzite is made from a form of limestone.
