Basalt can change into what metamorphic rock?
Greenschist, blueschist, zeolite, granulite and eclogite high grade metamorphic rocks.
What makes the eclogite rock?
Extreme metamorphism of oceanic crustal basalt.
What type of rock is mostly found in mantle?
The rocks found in the mantle are usually olivine, pyroxenes, spinal structure minerals, and garnet. Some others are peridotite, dunite, and eclogite.
Which metamorphic facies represents the highest temperature and pressure conditions?
It's eclogite facies.
Where is eclogite found?
In the earth's crust
Why is peridotite more predominant in the upper mantle than eclogite?
Two reasons: first, peridotite is native to the mantle where as eclogite is formed from the metamorphism of oceanic crust; secondly, eclogite has a much higher density than peridotite and so it sinks to the lower mantle.
What rock will you find in the Mantle?
The mantle, or interior of the Earth is made up of mostly of rocks that have high amounts of silicon and aluminum. There is also an abundance of nickel and iron in the mantle.
What rock is a metamorphic rock?
Amphibolite Blueschist Eclogite Gneiss Granulite Greenschist Greenstone Hornfels Marble - limestone Marble - dolomite Migmatite Phyllite Quartzite Schist Serpentinite Slate Soapstone
What is the source of the carbon in diamonds that are found in eclogite?
the source is the magma
What are rocks that come from the mantle?
Rocks of the mantle are peridotite, dunite, and eclogite. In deeper regions, the olivine may be replaced by more stable minerals.
What is metamorphic rocks's names?
quartzite, slate, gneiss, marlbe, migmitite, amphibolite, serpenrinite, eclogite. that's all i have from my school papers. quartzite, slate, gneiss, marlbe, migmitite, amphibolite, serpenrinite, eclogite. that's all i have from my school papers.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
