It is one of the most resistant rocks to weathering and erosion, and is often used in construction and landscaping.<\/p>\n<p>Marble is a metamorphic rock formed when limestone is subjected to heat and pressure. It is a relatively soft rock, and is not as resistant to weathering and erosion as quartzite.<\/p>\n<p>Slate is a metamorphic rock formed when shale is subjected to heat and pressure. It is a relatively hard rock, but is not as resistant to weathering and erosion as quartzite.<\/p>\n<p>Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of calcium carbonate. It is a relatively soft rock, and is not as resistant to weathering and erosion as quartzite.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, quartzite is the most weather resistant of the metamorphic rocks listed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Marble&#8221; option2=&#8221;Quartzite&#8221; option3=&#8221;Slate&#8221; option4=&#8221;Lime stone&#8221; correct=&#8221;option1&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[644],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-building-materials","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Which of the following metamorphic rocks has the most weather resisting characteristics?
