Granite
Metamorphisism (heat and pressure)
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
Granite, a type of igneous rock, can metamorphose into gneiss when exposed to high temperatures and pressure. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock with distinct layers or banding due to the rearrangement of minerals under heat and pressure.
A piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, and then to a metamorphic rock as it gets buried deeper within the Earth's crust.
Granite becomes metamorphic by being subjected to immense heat and pressure, turning into gneiss.
When granite is subjected to enough heat and pressure, it becomes a metamorphic rock called gneiss.
Metamorphic rock is rock that has changed as a result of constant heat, pressure, or both. One good example is granite.
the granite melts into lava then cools becoming igneous. it erodes into sediment and then gets compressed into a sedimentary rock. the sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic with heat and pressure deep within Earth
Granite will become gneiss.
Granite
Granite is a type of igneous rock that forms from the cooling of molten magma deep within the Earth's crust. Over time, geological processes such as heat and pressure can metamorphose granite into gneiss, a high-grade metamorphic rock with distinct layering or banding.
Metamorphisism (heat and pressure)
Through heat and pressure
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
Granite can be changed into gneiss through the process of metamorphism, where heat and pressure alter the mineral structure of the rock. This process causes the minerals in the granite to recrystallize, forming distinct banding and foliation characteristic of gneiss. The original minerals in the granite are reorganized into new minerals such as mica, quartz, and feldspar, giving gneiss its unique appearance.
Gneiss, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.
