What types of rock can be changed to a metamorphic?
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
Can igneous rock become metamorphic rock without first becoming sedimentary rock?
Yes. A prime example is that granite can undergo metamorphism and become gneiss.
Is cinnabar a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
igneous
Is shale igneous metamorphic sedimentary?
It is a Sedimentary rock
What are the differences between para-gneiss and orthogneiss?
Para-gneiss is a metamorphic rock derived from pre-existing sedimentary or igneous rocks, while orthogneiss is a metamorphic rock derived from the metamorphism of igneous rocks only. Orthogneiss typically has a more uniform texture and mineral composition compared to para-gneiss. Additionally, orthogneiss usually contains higher amounts of feldspar and other mineral grains that are indicative of its igneous origin.
Is gneiss a metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
Gneiss is a banded metamorphic rock.
Is gneiss an igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
It is a Metamorphic rock
Is gneiss igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
It is a Metamorphic rock
What types of rock can be changed to a metamorphic?
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
Is gneiss metamorphic?
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
Is an gneiss rock sedimentary rock?
No, gneiss is metamorphic.
Is gneiss an example of igneous rock?
No. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
How is gneiss similar to granite?
Granite is an igneous rock and gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
Does igneous rock have to become sedimentary rock before it can become metamorphic rock?
No, igneous rock can undergo metamorphism without becoming sedimentary rock first. Metamorphism can occur in any rock type (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) when exposed to high temperature and pressure, leading to the formation of new minerals and textures.
Is a seashell an igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
metamorphic rock
Is schist a sedimentary or igneous or metamorphic rock?
it is a metamorphic rock
