What else can I help you with?
Is quartzite sedimentary or igneous?
Neither. Quartzite is metamorphosed quartz sandstone, and is therefore a metamorphic rock.
What is the metamorphosed form of dolomite?
The metamorphosed form of dolomite is called marble. Dolomite is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of the mineral dolomite, while marble is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone or dolomite under high heat and pressure.
Is it possible for a sedimentary rock to be changed to become a new sedimentary rock?
Yes, sedimentary rocks can undergo processes such as compaction, cementation, and recrystallization to become a new sedimentary rock. These processes can alter the original sedimentary rock's texture, composition, and appearance without undergoing metamorphism.
What processes must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
Is serpentine rock sedimentary or igneous?
Serpentine is a type of metamorphosed sedimentary rock.
Name one metamorphosed rock from a sedimentary rock?
Quartzite
Is marble an intrusive rock?
No, marble is a metamorphosed limestone, which itself is a sedimentary rock.
How can a metamorphic rock change into another rock?
Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.
What is the scientific name for metaconglomerate rock?
Metamorphosed sedimentary conglomerate is referred to as metaconglomerate.
What type of rock can only be formed from sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Metamorphic rock can form from igneous and sedimentary rock. It can also form from previously metamorphosed rock into a higher grade metamorphic rock.
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
CAN Metamorphic rocks occur from sedimentary and igneous rocks?
Yes, both sedimentary and igneous rock can be metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
What type of sedimentary rock is typically metamorphosed to form slates or phyllites?
shale or mudstone
Does sedimentary rock become metamorphic rock after millions of years?
Yes, sedimentary rock can undergo metamorphism to become metamorphic rock over millions of years due to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This process can cause the minerals in the sedimentary rock to recrystallize and form new minerals, resulting in a metamorphic rock with a different texture and mineral composition.
What rocks comes before quartzite in the rock cycle?
Quartzite is sandstone (sedimentary rock) that has metamorphosed from heat and pressure.
What does a sedimentary rock before it can turn into a metamorphic rock?
Not sure what you are trying to ask. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments, but can be metamorphosed only by applied heat &/or pressure.
