If a rock has bands of light and dark layers its what?
It could be a sedimentary rock or a foliated metamorphic rock exhibiting alternating bands of light and dark minerals.
What is the segregation of light and dark colored minerals into thin layers or bands?
The term is foliation.
If a rock has shiny surfaces or bands of light and dark layers then it is?
The bands of light and dark are classic signs of Gneiss (Gneissose banding), but Gneiss is not necessarily shiny. It may be sparkly, but not shiny. However, a Slate IS shiny, but does not have the pretty banding. Another consideration is Schist, which has similar characteristics to Gneiss. My advise is that if you are classifying a rock that you are looking at, consider the grade of metamorphism, as it certainly is metamorphic. Also consider the mineralogy: what are the light and dark bands? Quartz, Feldspar (light)? Mica (biotite) (dark)? There are many possibilities. The mineralogy will help determine the original sedimentary rock, which you can then use to determine the metamorphic sample you have.
Is dark colored granite softer than light colored granite?
no, generally darker granite is harder and weighs more, has less water absorption abilities.
Planet covered with dark and light bands?
Saturn is the planet that will answer your question
Is this a description for gneiss rock can be made from granite wavy bands of dark and light layers?
Yes. This metamorphic rock can be made from granite; wavy bands of dark and light layers.

A bands are dark bands?
Yes, in striated muscle you can think of the "A" bands as the dArk bands and the "I" bands as the lIght bands.
Do smooth muscle have alternating dark and and light bands on them?
Yes, smooth muscle has alternating dark and light bands known as the A and I bands, respectively.
If a rock has bands of light and dark layers it is?
It could be foliated metamorphic rock or sedimentary rock, depending on its mineral makeup and method of formation.
Combination of alternating dark A bands and light?
The alternation dark and light bands are found in muscles of humans and animals. They give the muscle fibers their striated appearance.
Two muscular tissues that show light and dark bands?
Skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues are both considered as striated, which means that they have light and dark bands.
What property of light producing dark and bright bands on the screen after light passes through two slits?
The property of light which on passing through two slits gives bright and dark bands is interference
Skeletal muscle cells are striated that is they have alternating dark and light bands called repectively?
A and I bands
