No. The layering or foliation only occurs when there is a variation in the composition of the original rock. If the rock is homogeneous, then there will be no foliation.

Metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
Sedimentary rocks have layers, not metamorphic rocks.
What are the characteristics of foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks that look like they have layers or the appearance of layers. Non-foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks without any foliation.
Metamorphic rocks that show layers of dark minerals alternating with layers of light minerals are classified as?
foliated metamorphic rocks. The alternating layers are caused by the alignment and segregation of minerals during the metamorphic process, resulting in a banded or layered appearance. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and slate.
What are metamorphic rocks with banded layers called?
Gneiss
When metamorphic rock has banded texture with minerals grains that are arranged in layers it is called?
Metamorphic rocks with a layered or banded look are referred to as foliated.

What kind of rocks do not have layers?
Igneous rocks, non-foliated metamorphic rocks, and evaporites do not have layers.
What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.

How many layers do metamorphic layers have?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that has been changed from one rock to another by heat and/or pressure.....they amount of layers would depend on what kind of rock.....all rocks have a different amount of layers sorry

What is the texture called in metamorphic rocks with bands or layers?

Are igneous rocks made when layers of weathered rocks or soil is compacted?
No that is a metamorphic rock
