What else can I help you with?
Shales changed form?
Slate is metamorphosed shale.
What is the hardness of the Metamorphic rock?
Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.
How can dolomite be chemically weathered by rain water?
Dolomite can be chemically weathered by rainwater through a process called carbonation. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, reacts with dolomite to form carbonic acid. This acid then reacts with the dolomite, dissolving it and releasing calcium and magnesium ions into the rainwater.
What are some sources of dolomite?
Dolomite can be found in sedimentary rocks like limestone and marble, as well as in hydrothermal veins. It can also form in shallow marine environments from the accumulation of calcium and magnesium-rich debris. Additionally, dolomite can be produced synthetically for various industrial purposes.
What is a dolomite deposit?
Dolomite isa sedimentary carbonate rock composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2 . It is similar to limestone. It was originally identified in the Dolomite mountains, a part of the Alps in Italy.
Limestone can be metamorphosed into?
Limestone can be metamorphosed into marble through the process of recrystallization under high pressure and temperature conditions. The calcite crystals in limestone are transformed into interlocking crystals of calcite or dolomite in marble, resulting in increased hardness and a distinctive pattern and coloration.
Shales changed form?
Slate is metamorphosed shale.

What is a dolomite mountain?
Dolomite is a metal, a dolomite mountain is a mountain made of dolomite
What simple test can be used to distinguish between calcite and dolomite in granular form?
One simple test to distinguish between calcite and dolomite in granular form is the acid test. Calcite will react with dilute hydrochloric acid by producing bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, while dolomite will only react if powdered first. This is due to the presence of magnesium in dolomite which slows down the reaction with acid.
What type of sedimentary rock is typically metamorphosed to form slates or phyllites?
shale or mudstone
What rocks have carbonate in them?
Limestone and dolomite are common rocks that contain carbonate minerals. These rocks form primarily from the accumulation of calcite or aragonite for limestone, and dolomite for dolomite, often from the remains of marine organisms.
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
How can dolomite be chemically weathered by rain water?
Dolomite can be chemically weathered by rainwater through a process called carbonation. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, reacts with dolomite to form carbonic acid. This acid then reacts with the dolomite, dissolving it and releasing calcium and magnesium ions into the rainwater.
What are 3 specific types of metamorphic rocks and what was their parent rock?
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
What are some sources of dolomite?
Dolomite can be found in sedimentary rocks like limestone and marble, as well as in hydrothermal veins. It can also form in shallow marine environments from the accumulation of calcium and magnesium-rich debris. Additionally, dolomite can be produced synthetically for various industrial purposes.
What is the slogan of dolomite?
"Dolomite: Simply Better."
