How are Quartzite Granite and Sandstone related?
Quartzite, granite, and sandstone are all types of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. They are related in the sense that they are formed from different processes involving the compression and transformation of sediments. Quartzite is derived from sandstone through intense heat and pressure, while granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Sandstone, on the other hand, is formed from sand particles that are compacted and cemented together over time.

Describe how the granite of a mountain could change first into sandstone and then into quartzite?
Weathering causes the granite to break down into small particles - sand. The sand becomes buried and compacts into sandstone. If the sandstone continues to be buried and comes into close contact with high heat, such as magma, it can be turned into quartzite.
What is the daughter rock of granite?
it is sandstone
