Question

Which of these is a metamorphic rock? A basalt B granite C limestone D slate

Answer 1

Answer:

B:GRANITE

Explanation:

Granite is typical of a larger family of granitic rocks that are composed mostly of coarse-grained quartz and feldspars in varying proportions. These rocks are classified by the relative percentages of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase (the QAPF classification), with true granite representing granitic rocks rich in quartz and alkali feldspar. Most granitic rocks also contain mica or amphibole minerals, though a few (known as leucogranites) contain almost no dark minerals.

These properties have made granite a widespread construction stone throughout human history.
