What metamorphic rock is made from schist?

Answer 1

Schist is formed from the exposure of previously existing rock to high pressures and heat from tectonic forces. The pressures and heat experienced align the platy minerals in sheet-like layers, minerals can recrystallize, and new minerals may be formed from existing ones as the pressures squeeze out any remaining fluids.
Schist is usually formed under medium pressure and temperature in mountain ranges.

Answer 2

Gneiss is a metamorphic rock formed when intense heat and/or pressure is applied to it's parent rock schist.

Answer 3

Schist is a metamorphic rock, usually from a sedimentary protolith rock, like shale. The metamorphosis occurs as the shales are put under incredible pressures and heat from plate collisions due to the movements of plate tectonics. The pressure and heat cause a realignment and alteration of the protolithic mineral structures, with the characteristic platy foliation occurring as a result of mica recrystallization. New minerals can also form from the reorganization of minerals that are present in the protolith, like garnet.

Answer 4

When a volcano erupts the magma runs down into the holes of the volcano and hardens making schist. Therefore schist is made of lava (magma).

Answer 5

Schist comes from muds and clays or sometimes igneous rocks that have undergone years of metaphoric processes. The dominant material in it dictates the type of schist, it would be.

Answer 6

Schist is formed by regional metamorphism which occurs when tectonic plates collide, creating extreme heat and pressure. Collisions create mountains, so schist can be found in some mountains.
