How could you distinguish the parent rock such as sandstone or limestone from the
metamorphic rock quartzite or marble?

Sagot :

The best way to tell quartzite from sandstone is to break the rocks. Sandstone will shatter into many individual grains of sand while quartzite will break across the grains. Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolomite.
