What is the origin of a gneiss rock?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock and its parent rock (protolith) could be a granite or schist.
What are four examples of metamorphic rock?
Slate, hornfels, schist, gneiss.
The rock type which results from metamorphosed shale is?
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
What is parent rock of Muscovite schist?
Gneiss is a high grade metamorphic rock, the product of various rock types being exposed to intense pressures and heat under the surface of the Earth. Orthogneiss is a gneiss whose parent rock was igneous, and paragneiss is a gneiss whose parent rock was sedimentary.
What does phyllite turn into?
Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.
What are two common types of metamorphic rock?
shale slate gneiss
Is slate and gneiss the same thing?
No, but slate and gneiss are both a type of metamorphic rock. Slate will also turn into Gneiss, eventually, if metamorphosing continues. The series is Shale (sedimentary) >> Slate (metamorphic) >> Phyllite >> Schist >> Gneiss
What is a kind of foliated metamorphic rock?

Is slate a metamorphic rock which transforms from shale?
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
The rock type which results from metamorphosed shale is?
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
Can you describe the 4 rocks formed by metamorphic grade which are Slate Phyllite Schist and Gneiss?
Slate is a low-grade metamorphic rock characterized by fine-grained foliated structure. Phyllite is intermediate-grade metamorphic rock with a greater degree of crystallization and foliation than slate. Schist is a medium-grade metamorphic rock with visible mineral grains and strong foliation. Gneiss is a high-grade metamorphic rock with distinct banding of light and dark minerals and high crystallization.
What is parent rock of Muscovite schist?
Gneiss is a high grade metamorphic rock, the product of various rock types being exposed to intense pressures and heat under the surface of the Earth. Orthogneiss is a gneiss whose parent rock was igneous, and paragneiss is a gneiss whose parent rock was sedimentary.
What major rock is foliated?
Slate, gneiss, schist. Metamorphic rocks. Just the foliated ones.
