What else can I help you with?
How are gneiss rocks different that granite rocks?
Gneiss rocks are products of metamorphism while granite rocks are derived from igneous activity.
What are metamorphic rocks with banded layers called?
Gneiss
What property distinguishes foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
a banded texture
Why can the composition of gneiss vary but overall texture cannot?
The texture defines the gneiss. If it varies, it's not gneiss. I'm studying the same thing! -8th Grader! :D
How are igneous and metamorphic rocks related?
Both gneiss and migmatite are late-stage, high grade metamorphic rocks.
Are Gneiss crystalline?
Yes, the gneiss rocks are usually crystalline. The gneiss rocks are foliated or banded metamorphic rocks that have the same composition as the granite.
How are gneiss rocks different that granite rocks?
Gneiss rocks are products of metamorphism while granite rocks are derived from igneous activity.
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.
What does gneiss and marble have in common?
They are both metamorphic rocks.
When granite rocks get metamorphosed they changes into?
marble
What can you make rocks out of?
y'al can make gneiss or granodiorite
What are metamorphic rocks without layers called?
gneiss
What are metamorphic rocks with banded layers called?
Gneiss
How are granite and gneiss the same?
Granite and gneiss are both types of rocks that are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma or rock. Gneiss is actually a metamorphic rock that is derived from granite through the process of metamorphism. Both rocks exhibit visible mineral grains and are commonly used in construction and landscaping due to their durability.
What rocks does a gneiss rock contain?
Gneiss contains the minerals mica, quartz, feldspar, amphibole, garnet, and pyroxene.
How do you change granite from sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rocks?
Gneiss is a foilated metamorphic rock.
Is gneiss a limestone or sandstone?
Gneiss is neither limestone nor sandstone. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that forms from the transformation of pre-existing rocks such as granite or sedimentary rocks under high heat and pressure. The resulting gneiss typically exhibits banded layers of minerals.
