Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt
(metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
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.
Quartzite is formed from sandstone through a process of high heat and pressure, which causes the quartz grains in the sandstone to recrystallize and fuse together. In contrast, marble is formed from limestone or dolostone, not sandstone. Therefore, only quartzite is directly derived from sandstone.
gneiss
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.
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.
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.
Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.

heat and pressure
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.
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.
