Marble Igneous Rock

Marble is a metamorphic rock formed when limestone is exposed to high temperatures and pressures.

Marble igneous rock. Most igneous rocks are made up of minerals which are part of the silicate group. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite caco 3 and usually contains other minerals such as clay minerals micas quartz pyrite iron oxides and graphite. A marble is a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous. While marble is a non folliated metamorphic rock.

Marble is formed by metamorphism of sedimentary rock such as limestone. Igneous rocks cool from molten magma and form the majority of the crust. Calcite dolomite limestone and marble are part of the carbonate group which is based on calcium and oxygen. Marble is not an igneous rock.

Marble granular limestone or dolomite i e rock composed of calcium magnesium carbonate that has been recrystallized under the influence of heat pressure and aqueous solutions. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism. Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock. An igneous rock is made by cooling of magma inside the earth crust or lava in the surface of earth.

This means that they are primarily based on silicon and oxygen. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock.
