Yes they can, the mineral assemblage in a metamorphic rock reflects and equilibrium state pertaining to the temperatures and pressures to which it has been subject. If the rock is subsequently taken to a different Pressure/temperature environment, an new equilibrium mineral phase will start to develop.
What else can I help you with?
Gneiss and slate are what type of rocks?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock would be:Quartzite - composed of the mineral quartz; metamorphosed sandstoneMarble - composed of the mineral calcite; metamorphosed limestone
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
What metamorphic rocks form sandstone?
The most common metamorphic rock associated with the regional, contact, or depth of burial metamorphosis of sandstone is quartzite.
What is the hardness of a metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
How does metamorphic rock form example?
Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks that are subjected to high heat and pressure, causing changes in their mineral composition and texture without melting. For example, limestone can be metamorphosed into marble through the process of recrystallization under intense heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface.
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
What three types of rocks can be metamorphosed into metamorphic rocks?
The 3 basic rock types are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, which can all be changed or metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What are metamorphic rocks made?
preexisting rocks that have been metamorphosed by cooking and crushing.
When rocks are metamorphosed the pressure causes them to become what?
Deformed, and change into metamorphic rocks.
Can metamorphic rocks be formed from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes, in a sense. Rocks can be metamorphosed multiple times, by different geologic events.
What are 3 specific types of metamorphic rocks and what was their parent rock?
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
Gneiss and slate are what type of rocks?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock would be:Quartzite - composed of the mineral quartz; metamorphosed sandstoneMarble - composed of the mineral calcite; metamorphosed limestone
CAN Metamorphic rocks occur from sedimentary and igneous rocks?
Yes, both sedimentary and igneous rock can be metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
What metamorphic rocks form sandstone?
The most common metamorphic rock associated with the regional, contact, or depth of burial metamorphosis of sandstone is quartzite.
A metamorphic rock is from where?
Metamorphic rock usually forms when a rock is altered under heat and pressure without melting. Some rocks may be metamorphosed by contact with hot water,
What is the hardness of a metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
