Metamorphisism (heat and pressure)
gneiss
If granite is subjected to intense heat and pressure, it would most likely change into a metamorphic rock called gneiss. This transformation occurs through a process known as metamorphism, where the minerals within the granite recrystallize and realign under the new conditions, often resulting in a banded appearance. The specific characteristics of the resulting gneiss can depend on the original composition of the granite and the environmental conditions during metamorphism.
If igneous rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to recrystallize into new igneous rocks. On the other hand, if sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat, they are likely to metamorphose into metamorphic rocks.
gneiss
If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure, it would likely change to gneiss, a metamorphic rock. Gneiss forms through the recrystallization of minerals in granite under high temperature and pressure conditions.
Granite will become gneiss.
Granite will become gneiss.
Granite must be exposed to tremendous heat and pressures in order to transform into the metamorphic rock gneiss.
by adding heat and pressure
When granite is subjected to enough heat and pressure, it becomes a metamorphic rock called gneiss.
When granite is subjected to heat and pressure, it undergoes a process called metamorphism and can transform into a metamorphic rock called gneiss. The mineral composition and texture of the granite change during this process, resulting in a foliated texture and alignment of minerals in the gneiss.
