What else can I help you with?
Is marble an extrusive or an intrusive rock?
Neither. The terms intrusive and extrusive apply to igneous rocks; marble is metamorphic.
Which igneous rock turns into shale?
Igneous rocks do not directly turn into shale. Shale is a sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction and cementation of fine-grained mud and clay particles. Igneous rocks can weather and erode to form sediment that eventually becomes shale through the process of lithification.
What is formed when igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks are changed due to heat and pressure?
When igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks are changed due to heat and pressure, they can form metamorphic rocks. This process is known as metamorphism, and it often results in the rocks being altered in texture and mineral composition. Metamorphic rocks can include marble, schist, and gneiss.
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Is marble an extrusive or an intrusive rock?
Neither. The terms intrusive and extrusive apply to igneous rocks; marble is metamorphic.
A marble is a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous?
Marble, the rock, is metamorphic. From limestone.
What kinds of rocks can be change into metamorphic rocks?
Many kinds of rocks both of igneous and sedimentary nature eg; Limestone (sedimentary ) to marble or granite or diorite (igneous) to gneiss.
Why can intrusive igneous igneous rocks be left behind when surrounding rocks are worn away?
because it is made by heat and intence crushing and dimonds and marble are both made this way.
Is marble originally sedimentary or igneous rock?
Igneous rock is classified as extrusive or intrusive.
Is a marble rock ultramafic?
No. Mafic, felsic, and related terms apply to silicate igneous rocks. Marble is composed of carbonates, so such terms do not apply.
Is masomry stone a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone and limestone), igneous rocks (such as granite and basalt), and metamorphic rocks (such as marble) are all used in masonry.
Can igneous rock turn into something else?
Yes, they can turn into metamorphic rocks.
What types of rocks can become igneous rocks?
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
What is the major difference between igneous and metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks started as melted lava and cooled to be rocks. Metamorphic rock started as a sedimentary rock, and was heated up and put under pressure to create the metamorphic rock. Classic example - igneous = obsidian. Metamorphic = marble (marble is limestone that's been heated and squeezed a lot).
What are examples of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous: * Obsidian * Granite * Diorite * Gabbro * Pumice * Basalt Metamorphic: * Slate * Phyllite * Gneiss * Mica schist * Marble * Quartzite * Granulite Sedimentary: * Limestone * Sandstone * Shale * Chert * Mudstone * Chalk
What are intermediate materials in a rock cycle?
Intermediate materials in the rock cycle include sedimentary rocks like sandstone and shale, which are formed through the deposition and compaction of sediments. These rocks can undergo metamorphism to form metamorphic rocks like marble and schist. Metamorphic rocks, in turn, can melt to form magma that solidifies into igneous rocks like granite and basalt.
