Deep underground, at the base of mountains, in zones radiating from intrusions of magma underground, on glaciated terrain after transportation by ice, or on the surface of eroded mountains.
Mica is a mineral commonly found in most foliated metamorphic rocks. It provides a distinctive shiny appearance and a sheet-like structure that contributes to the foliation of the rock.
Galena is a mineral, not a rock, but is commonly found emplaced in sedimentary rock from hydrothermal deposition in faults and fissures.
Coal is a metamorphic rock formed from ancient plant material that has been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. It is found deep inside the Earth's crust and is commonly used as a fuel for electricity generation and heating.
No, fossils are typically not found in metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which can destroy any fossils present. Fossils are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks where the conditions for preservation are more favorable.
The metamorphic rock commonly found in a pencil is graphite. Graphite is a soft, black mineral that forms from the metamorphism of carbon-rich sediments. It is composed of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern.
A texture know as foliation is common in metamorphic rock and garnets are more commonly found in metamorphic rock than other rock types of the crust.
No, sodalite is a metamorphic mineral, not a rock. It is a blue mineral commonly found in igneous rocks like syenite or nepheline syenite.
These rock is Metamorphic. metamorphic rocks are found in Africa.
Mica is a mineral commonly found in most foliated metamorphic rocks. It provides a distinctive shiny appearance and a sheet-like structure that contributes to the foliation of the rock.
Galena is a mineral. not a rock, but is commonly found emplaced in sedimentary rock from hydrothermal deposition in faults and fissures.
No. The most common rock found on the surface of the Earth is sedimentary rock, and in particular, shale, sometimes referred to as mudrock).
Anthracite
Felsite is commonly found in areas with igneous rock formations, such as volcanic regions or mountainous areas. It can also be found in some metamorphic rock formations.
Silicon itself is a chemical element, not a type of rock. However, silicon is commonly found in various types of rocks such as granite, basalt, and sandstone.
Fluorite is a commonly found mineral that forms from hydrothermal processes and is often associated with rocks of various origins, including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. While it can be found in metamorphic environments, fluorite itself is not considered a metamorphic rock.
No. Slag (more commonly called scoria) is an igneous rock.
Anthracite is a metamorphic rock commonly called coal ,whose protolith or parent rock is bituminous coal.
