Example of a sedimentary rock that changes into igneous rock?
When sedimentary rock such as breccia gets buried deep within the earth, it changes into metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock then can be changed into magma and reintroduced as igneous rocks, such as rhyolite or granite.
Quartzite turns into what igneous rock?
Probably a felsic igneous rock.
Is quartzite a igneous rock or a sedimentary rock?
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock, which means it was once a different type of rock (such as sandstone) that underwent intense heat and pressure to form quartzite. It is composed primarily of quartz grains.
What rock or rocks could come just after quartzite in the rock cycle?
Schist and gneiss are common rocks that can form after quartzite in the rock cycle. Schist forms from the metamorphism of rocks like shale or mudstone, while gneiss forms from the high-grade metamorphism of granite or other rocks.
Is gneiss clastic organic or chemical?
None of the above. These terms describe sedimentary rocks. Granite is igneous.
What is quartzite in relation to basalt?
Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
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 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.
