foliated rock
Metamorphic rocks have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands that are said to be foliated.
It could be a sedimentary rock or a foliated metamorphic rock exhibiting alternating bands of light and dark minerals.
Yes. This metamorphic rock can be made from granite; wavy bands of dark and light layers.
It could be foliated metamorphic rock or sedimentary rock, depending on its mineral makeup and method of formation.
foliated rocks are arranged in parallel layers, or bands. Unfoliated rocks are not banded and are not put into parallel layers.
Visible layers or bands in metamorphic rock is designated as 'foliation' and the rock is said to be 'foliated'.

Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
Yes. This metamorphic rock can be made from granite; wavy bands of dark and light layers.

Slate is a type of metamorphic rock. It is a foliated metamorphic rock that has a banded, or layered, appearance due to exposure to directed pressure and heat.
foliated rocks are arranged in parallel layers, or bands. Unfoliated rocks are not banded and are not put into parallel layers.
Not exactly. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which can appear similar to the layers of sedimentary rock. Foliation develops from mineral grains being oriented by pressure, rather than the deposition of layers.
