Do non-foliated metamorphic rocks contain bands of crystals?
All rocks except volcanic or tectonic glasses have crystals. Therefore all metamorphic rocks have crystals, however in lower metamorphic environments these crystals may remain microscopically small.
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 do the crystals in metamorphic rocks look like?
they are put together and squated
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a texture.?
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
The crystals of many metamorphic rocks are aligned in bands as a result of?
heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rock in which mineral crystals are arranged in parallel layers or band?
They are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
How are foliated metamorphic rocks different from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.
Do metamorphic rocks contain lectures crystals?
yes

How would you know the difference between igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rocks tend to have layers. Igneous rocks tend to have crystals. If you don't see layers or crystals, the rock might be metamorphic.
