A foliated metamorphic rock when crystals?
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals what?
Foliated metamorphic rocks exhibit a layering affect with parallel layers of mineral crystals one on top of the other. A good example of this is gneiss, which has alternating layers of light and dark minerals. Foliation takes place when pressure is applied to crystals and they recrystallize or align themselves at right angles to the direction of the applied directional stress.
Which metamorphic rock will have visible mica crystals and a foliated texture?
quartzite
In a metamorphic rock the alignment of the crystals or minerals determines whether the rock is?
Foliated or nonfilated
What is the term for a type of foliated metamorphic rock?
Schistose Structure metamorphic rocks are known as foliated metamorphic rock.

What is metamorphic rock in which mineral crystals are arranged in parallel layers or band?
They are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
What rock type has large crystals in no paticular pattern?
Non-foliated metamorphic rock is composed of non-layered visible mineral crystals.
What is the term for a type of foliated metamorphic rock?
Schistose Structure metamorphic rocks are known as foliated metamorphic rock.
Which rock is an example of a non-foliated metamorphic rock?
Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
Is slate a foliated metamorphic rock?
Yes, slate is a foliated metamorphic rock formed from the sedimentary rock shale.
Is slate a foliated of non foliated rock?
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
What is a description of foliated metamorphic rock?
Foliated means the crystals are formed in parallel bands. This is formed when pressure crushes the rock so that it becomes denser. This causes the crystals to produce band as space runs out at 900 to the pressure. E.g. Weight of rocks above produce bands horizontally.
What foliated metamorphic rock forms when the sedimentary rock shale is subjected to relatively low temperatures and pressure?
slate
