Crystals can be found in rocks that have been changed into different rocks by high temperature and high pressure. Which group of rocks is formed in this way?

The group of rocks formed under high temperature and high pressure is called metamorphic rocks. These rocks are created when existing rocks, either igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks, undergo metamorphism, resulting in changes to their mineral composition and texture. Common examples of metamorphic rocks include schist, gneiss, and marble.


Is marble an extrusive or an intrusive rock?

Neither. The terms intrusive and extrusive apply to igneous rocks; marble is metamorphic.


Which metamorphic rocks are massive and lacking banding?

Marble and quartzite are examples of massive metamorphic rocks that lack banding. Marble is formed from the metamorphism of limestone, while quartzite is formed from the metamorphism of sandstone. Both rocks typically have a uniform composition and lack the distinct layering or banding that is characteristic of other metamorphic rocks.


Does marble rocks have layers or not?

Marble is a metamorphic rock that typically does not have clearly defined layers like sedimentary rocks. However, some marbles may exhibit faint banding or veining due to variations in mineral composition or deformation during the rock's formation.


Slate and marble are examples of what kind of rock family?

Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. They are formed when existing rocks undergo high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize into new forms with different characteristics.
