Question

Much of the bedrock in Virginia’s Piedmont region, originally formed by cooled magma, has re-crystallized under a great deal of heat and pressure. One LIKELY rock found here would be A) gneiss. B) halite. C) limestone. D) sandstone.

Answer 1

A) gneiss

Explanation:

The likely rock that would be found here is gneiss.

A rock type that forms under a great deal of temperature and pressure is a metamorphic rock.

Such rocks would have their minerals crystallized when subjected to these extreme conditions.

• Metamorphic rocks are changed rocks that are formed when minerals in rocks are subjected to extreme pressure and temperature before they start melting.
• These rock type can form from either sedimentary or igneous rocks. In fact a metamorphic rock can also change into another one.
• Examples of metamorphic rocks are gneiss, schist, hornfels, marble etc.

Halite, limestone and sandstone are examples of sedimentary rocks that forms by the accumulation of sediments or precipitation of ions form solutions.
