Marble is a metamorphic rock that will fizz in hydrochloric acid (HCl). This reaction occurs because marble is primarily composed of calcite (calcium carbonate), which reacts with the acid to produce carbon dioxide gas, resulting in fizzing. This characteristic makes marble an important rock for geologists when identifying mineral composition.
No.
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
the
Heat and pressure transform rock to metamorphic rock.
In this scenario, the igneous rock intrusion is the youngest rock, as it formed after the metamorphic rock was already in existence. The metamorphic rock must have been present before the igneous rock intruded into it, making the metamorphic rock the oldest of the two. Thus, the metamorphic rock is the oldest in this context.
Marble will fizz because of the chemical reaction with its calcium carbonate makeup.
No, gypsum does not fizz in hydrochloric acid (HCl) like carbonate minerals do. Gypsum is a sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, so it does not react with HCl to produce carbon dioxide gas like carbonates do.
A metamorphic rock.
in a metamorphic rock you find rock.
No. Gneiss is metamorphosed granite. It does not contain any carbonates so it does not fizz.
Chert is NOT a metamorphic rock.
No.
Metamorphic rock displaying banding is referred to as foliated metamorphic rock.
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
These rock is Metamorphic. metamorphic rocks are found in Africa.
metamorphic rock
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
