Metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
Sedimentary rocks have layers, not metamorphic rocks.
When rock fragments get compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks they are known as?
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.
What do minerals sometimes form in metamorphic rocks?
They form when layers of minerals lay on top of each other

How does a foliated metamorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rocks have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands that are said to be foliated.
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.
What earth foces cause metamorphic rocks to form?
Pressure through layers of crust

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.
Type of Rock forms in layers?
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
How do metamorphic rocks form from metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks form from layers of sand, silt or clay, sometimes mixed with pebbles, and the bodies of living things (that may the be fossilised) The rocks are often quite soft. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks (usually sedimentary rocks) are subjected to extreme heat and/or pressure, usually deep underground. The rocks are changed in form, often becoming harder. Fossils are usually destroyed by the process.
