How does an igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock? How do we know that matter is composed of atoms? Describe collision theory. Explain the synthesis reaction of the Haber process in terms of the collision theory How are hydrogen atoms separated from water?
Hornblende (5-6) and Pyroxene minerals (5-6) are the main minerals in mafic basalts and gabbros. So, the minerals in igneous rocks have amoderately high hardnessand so igneous rocks themselves tend to be quite hard. They get even hard if they become a metamorphic rock....
How does an igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock? What evidence do we have for the movement of tectonic plates? Explain how we know that tectonic plates move. How does "global positioning system" (GPS) technology work? What can we learn about plate tectonics by using GPS technology?
Hornfels is ametamorphic rockformed by the contact between mudstone / shale, or other clay-rich rock, and a hot igneous body, and represents a heat-altered equivalent of the original rock. Why are hornfels fine-grained? Hornfels is a fine-grainedmetamorphic rock that was subjected to the h...
Tumbled igneous and metamorphic rocks: Some rocks will take a nice polish. Shown here are granite, basalt, gabbro, gneiss, and other types of rock collected from Ohio River sediments and sold as landscape stone. Rocks Basalt (a black, fine-grained igneous rock) Granite (a coarse-grained ...
