What are non-examples of metamorphic rocks?
Sandstone, limestone, and shale are examples of sedimentary rocks. Granite, basalt, and obsidian are examples of igneous rocks.
Does limestone sandstone and granite absorb water?
Limestone is porous and can absorb water, while sandstone is also porous but less absorbent than limestone. Granite is a denser and less porous rock, so it does not absorb water as readily as limestone or sandstone.
How does change granite into sandstone?
Granite becomes Sandstone when water erodes the Granite on Earths surface, and then deposits the sediment.
Can Obsidian turn into Granite?
No, Obsidian and Granite are two different types of rocks with distinct properties. Obsidian is a volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooling lava, while Granite is an igneous rock made up of various minerals like quartz and feldspar. They have different mineral compositions and formation processes, so Obsidian cannot turn into Granite.
Is sandstone a scoria granite or pumice?
None of those. Scoria, Pumice and Granite are igneous rocks. Sandstone is sedimentary.
