Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a texture?
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
What type of rock is Bogenfels Arch?
The arch is made up of either sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock. Most likely sedimentary because the layers in the arch are distinct, solid bands of color, whereas a metamorphic rocks have swirly bands of color from the emense pressure the rock went through. Another reason the rock might be sedimentary is because the arch opening would not be as large if the rock was metamorphic rock, which can whithstand more erosion than sedimentary rock.
Are there four kinds of rock?
There are three broad categories of rock (Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary) but these are themselves further subdivided into a large number of differing rocks.
How did thew astronauts explore the large areas of the moon?
Noob.
What is called the bread baskets?
Large areas of farmland growing wheat.
What features of metamorphic rocks do not occur in sedimentary rocks?
The features are metamorphic rock changes can occur over very large areas
Where would you find exposed metamorphic rocks?
Because metamorphic rocks from very deep underground, they have to be brought to the surface by some geologic processes before they are exposed. There are many processes that could do this, but the most common is a mountain building event. Mountainous areas often have very large areas of exposed metamorphic rocks.
What conditions determine whether metamorphic changes willl occur over a large or small area?
Change over large areas - usually the deeper down rocks are the more change occurs.Usually due to both heat and pressure.Mountain Ranges are example of large area metamorphic. Change over small areas - formed by heat pressure ALONE
How large crystals form in a metamorphic rock?

how and where would the rock might have been formed that has large crystals of feldspar mica and quartz?
due to the large crystal grains of the rock and existence of feldspar and mica the rock could either be of igneous or metamorphic origin.incase it is of igneous origin the rock is intrusive igneous rock that form deep in the earth crust and cool at a relatively slow rate developing large crystals.in case of metamorphic origin the rock is high grade metamorphic rock that have experienced high metamorphic condition (high pressure and temperature);that is it is a gneiss that has characteristic coarse grains crystals.
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a texture?

That would be the oceans and seas.
Is clastic sedimentary rock with very large particles metamorphic rock?
Yes
What are the ingredients in metamorphic rock?
the layars of earth
What type of rocks are created from large amounts of heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rock is created from large amounts of heat and pressure.
Where are metamorfic rocks found?
Large parts of Earth's continental crust is made up of metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks play an important role in mountain building as they make up large portions of the mountain's crystalline core.
