Metamorphic rock that show layers of dark minerals alternatin with layers of light minerals are classified as?
Foliated is the correct answer!!!
What causes the different colors in sedimentary rock?
Minerals cause the layers - each mineral has a certain color (and hardness).
What breaks layers because of cleavage?
Cleavage breaks the layers of rock due to poor distribution of minerals within the rocks. The impact of breakage will depend on the types of minerals that are present.
What do minerals sometimes form in metamorphic rocks?
They form when layers of minerals lay on top of each other
Mixed mineral definition?
Mixed mineral is a mineral having an interstratified structure. This consists of alternating layers of different clays and some other minerals.
What is consisting of layers of different minerals?
foliated
Consisting of layers of different minerals is?
foliated
What is gneiss made out of?
well I searched and found no exact answer that would help for my science homework, but I have found results close to this. I think it is either foliated rock, or consisting of layers of different minerals.

How are earths layers alike and different?
i think they all are in the earth and are all layers and have minerals and are hot and have pressure

How are earths layers different?
They are different because different minerals can be found at different layers. Also, the layers closer to the core of the earth will become more hot, causing melted rock (magma) to form.
How many different groups of crystal structure are there in minerals?
There are about four different groups of crystals structures that are available in the minerals. The four have different orientations of the close-packed layers.
Rocks consisting of a mixture of minerals?
aggregates

Foliation is the arrangement of minerals in?
Foliation is the arrangement of minerals in parallel layers.
