Sandstone is a consolidated sand it is a very widespread and well known sedimentary rock.
Magma into granite granite into sand and sand into sandstone.
When granite is exposed at the surface through uplift or weathering the most stable mineral is quartz.
Identify the series of geologic processes that can transform magma into granite granite into sand and sand into sandstone.
The quartz is carried by streams and along the way are rounded by abrasion into grains of sand sand is usually made of quartz and deposited on the beach or other locations.
Through the passage of time fragments of granite are broken down into smaller pieces or sediments which are transported and deposited at the bottom of the oceans or rivers.
These particles form layers of sand and pebbles that undergo compaction and cementation to create.
Under conditions of heat and pressure the sandstone can metamorphose into quartzite.
Granite changes into sandstone by means of weathering and erosion.
Identify the series of geologic processes that can transform magma into granite granite into sand and sand into sandstone.
The sand can accumulate and lithify into sandstone.
Identify the series of geologic processes that can transform magma into granite granite into sand and sand into sandstone.

Sandstone is a metamorphic rock formed from sand which has been solidified by some geologic process.
Identify the series of geologic processes that can transform magma into granite granite into sand and sand into sandstone.
Check all that apply.
Quartzite for example is a type sandstone formed from solidified grains of quartz sand.
