Detailed explanation-1: -Which rock was subjected to intense heat and pressure but did not solidify from magma? sandstone.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metamorphic rocks are igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks that have been changed or altered in response to deep burial, intense heat and pressure without melting the rock or interaction with hot fluids. Common metamorphic rocks that may host gem minerals include schist, gneiss and marble.
Detailed explanation-3: -The heat generated by the magma chamber has changed these sedimentary rocks into the metamorphic rocks marble, quartzite, an hornfels. Regional Metamorphism occurs over a much larger area. This metamorphism produces rocks such as gneiss and schist.
Detailed explanation-4: -Metamorphic rocks are often squished, smeared out, and folded. Despite these uncomfortable conditions, metamorphic rocks do not get hot enough to melt, or they would become igneous rocks! Common Metamorphic Rocks: Common metamorphic rocks include phyllite, schist, gneiss, quartzite and marble.
Detailed explanation-5: -Schist is a type of metamorphic rock in which lamellar minerals, such as muscovite, biotite, and chlorite, or prismatic minerals, such as hornblende and tremolite, are oriented parallel to a secondary platy or laminated structure termed the schistosity.
