What type of rock is formed by putting limestone under heat and pressure?

By the metamorphosis of limestone, marble is formed. By the thermal decomposition of limestone, quicklime is formed. Which process depends on the temperature and pressure.


When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?

gneiss


Does Sand forms by Heat Pressure?

No, sand is formed through the process of weathering and erosion of rocks over time. Heat and pressure are involved in the formation of rocks, such as sandstone, but they are not direct factors in the creation of individual sand particles.


Metamorphic rock formed from sandstone?

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. The process involves heat and pressure altering the sandstone's mineral composition, causing quartz grains to recrystallize and fuse together, resulting in a harder, more durable rock. Quartzite is known for its smooth texture, high resistance to weathering, and distinctive white color.


How are Quartzite Granite and Sandstone related?

Quartzite, granite, and sandstone are all types of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. They are related in the sense that they are formed from different processes involving the compression and transformation of sediments. Quartzite is derived from sandstone through intense heat and pressure, while granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Sandstone, on the other hand, is formed from sand particles that are compacted and cemented together over time.

Is you put Heat And Pressure On Sandstone you get what?

As sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from grains of sand over millions of years), applying heat and pressure is likely to pulverise the sandstone.


What is metamorphic rock formed from sandstone called?

Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.

What does the metamorphic rock quartzite turn into because of pressure and heat?

Quartzite is already a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone under high pressure and heat. It does not transform into another mineral due to pressure and heat.


Does Sand forms by Heat Pressure?

No, sand is formed through the process of weathering and erosion of rocks over time. Heat and pressure are involved in the formation of rocks, such as sandstone, but they are not direct factors in the creation of individual sand particles.
