Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quartzite, marble, and hornfels are all rocks produced by contact metamorphism. Marble forms from the contact metamorphism of limestone and dolostone, while quartzite forms from the metamorphism of sandstone. Hornfels, on the other hand, is a fine-grained rock that forms from the recrystallization of various parent rocks such as shale, mudstone, and volcanic rock.
