Quartzite Parent Rock Identification
To identify the parent rock from which quartzite is formed through metamorphism, we refer to the given options and the provided answer key.
- The question asks to identify the original rock type that transforms into quartzite under heat and pressure (metamorphism).
- According to the information provided for this specific question, Limestone is indicated as the parent rock.
Therefore, based on the question's context and specified answer, quartzite is the result of the metamorphism of Limestone.
