Slate is certainly foliated and splits easily along this foliation surface. Gneisses frequently banded and this banding is also a foliation.
It is not true. Metamorphic rock foliation is displayed as banding or layering due to mineral alignment.
Foliation is the layering of metamorphic rock. An example of foliation would be a rock called a Gneiss. On this rock, it is easily apparent to see the layers of rock that have formed.
Metamorphic rocks often have foliation. Schist is a common example.

Slate is certainly foliated and splits easily along this foliation surface. Gneisses frequently banded and this banding is also a foliation.
The main way metamorphic rocks are classified is by the presence or absence of foliation. Foliated metamorphic rocks are distinguished by the type of foliation they exhibit. Types of foliation textures, include: slaty, phyllitic, schistose, and gneissi.
Certain metamorphic rocks that do not exhibit foliation (banding, lamellar texture) like quartzite and marble are described as non-foliated.
Sedimentary rock can display strata, and some metamorphic rocks display metamorphic foliation; both can appear as stripes, layering, or banding.
It is not true. Metamorphic rock foliation is displayed as banding or layering due to mineral alignment.
a metamorphic rock is a rock that is formed from heat and pressure it can form from a sedimentary or igneous an example of a metamorphic rock is marble metamorphic rocks can have foliation like banding or layers.
Both rocks display foliation or banding although the processes involved in creating the foliations are different. Sedimentary rock layering occurs because of sediment deposition, and metamorphic foliation is a mineral alignment response to heat and directional pressure.
Slaty foliation, is a type of parallel foliation consisting of fine-grained platy minerals. The direction of foliation is usually perpendicular to the direction of maximum stress.
Foliation is the arrangement of minerals in parallel layers.
Yes, gastric banding and stomach banding are the same procedure.
The foliation in metamorphic minerals is always perpendicular to the direction of pressure. E.g. Vertical pressure is applied, the foliation will be horizontal, and vice-versa, the pressure is horizontal you get vertical foliation. From yahoo answers
