Gneissic texture is used to identify the highest grade of metamorphic rock that still displays foliation. Granulite is the highest grade metamorphic rock, period, but does not display foliation due to the instability of sheet silicates.
Granulite forms at the highest grade of regional metamorphism. It is a high-grade metamorphic rock primarily composed of minerals such as pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar. Granulite typically forms under high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust.
High temperatures and pressures are associated with the formation of regional metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. These rocks form deep within the Earth's crust where tectonic forces are intense, leading to the recrystallization of minerals and the development of foliation.
=== === Metamorphism does not cause a rock to melt. If a rock melts, then solidifies, it is by definition an igneous rock. There are rocks called granulites which represent the highest grade of metamorphism, and some may have experienced a partialmelting.
Yes, additional pressure and heat will lead to further metamorphism. The reference used to describe this is called the 'degree of metamorphism'. For instance, the sedimentary rock shale can become the low grade metamorphic rock slate. In the next degree of metamorphism, slate can become phyllite. Phyllite can then become schist, and finally gneiss. Migmatite is the highest grade metamorphic rock, but has been partially melted.
Anthracite coal has been through low-grade metamorphism to become the highest grade of coal. This type of coal has the highest carbon count and the fewest impurities of any other type of coal.

Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that meets those criteria.
Disregard....cannot be answered.
Multiplicity is identified by looking at highest power of an exponent.

Gneiss is a Plutonic metamorphic rock which is formed under high pressure and temperature condition at Katazone or Lower Zone.
Metamorphism changes coal into anthracite by subjecting it to high temperatures and pressures over time, causing it to undergo physical and chemical changes. These changes include the removal of impurities and moisture, as well as an increase in carbon content, resulting in the formation of anthracite, which is the highest rank of coal.
Actually its CEO not regional manager. But im wondering if there is any titles above CEO?

The highest individual mountains are usually shown with a peak symbol or a triangle symbol on a map. The peak symbol typically includes the name and elevation of the mountain, making it easy to identify the highest points on the map.
Anthracite coal likely formed from the greatest pressure, as it is the highest grade of coal and has undergone the most intense metamorphism.
