Metamorphic rocks can vary widely in hardness depending on their mineral composition and the conditions under which they formed. Generally, they tend to be harder than sedimentary rocks but can be softer than some igneous rocks. For example, schist and slate can be relatively softer, while gneiss and quartzite are typically much harder. Overall, hardness can be assessed using the Mohs scale, with many metamorphic rocks falling between 5 and 7.

What rock is quartzite formed from?
metemorphic rock
Is garnet a metemorphic rock yes or no?
yes
Is a igneous rock marble?
No. Marble is a Metamorphic rock.
What is the difference between basaltic and frantic igneous rock?
There sedimentary igneous and metemorphic
What are 2 conditions that cause sedimentary rock to change to metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure changes sedimantary rock (limestone) into metemorphic rock(gnesis).
How does a metemorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?
By being first weathered into loose material (clast), then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated.
What is the name of a black metemorphic rock with a pink stripe going through it?
Gneiss is a likely prospect.
What is the structure of a quartzite rock?
Quartizite is a metemorphic rock that is either regional or contact. It is made when lava rises to the earths crust, and heats the sedimentatry rock around it.
What are sone examples of metemorphic rock?
Some examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, schist, and gneiss. These rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure and temperature underground.
What does metemorphic mean?
im not really sure
How do metemorphic rocks form?
they form by heat and presssure
What are some examples of metemorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have been transformed by great heat or pressure caused by movement in the Earth's crust.Examples include schist, gneiss, and slate
