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
metamorphic
Not exactly. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which can appear similar to the layers of sedimentary rock. Foliation develops from mineral grains being oriented by pressure, rather than the deposition of layers.
There are many types of rock but this one would either be Sedimantary Igneous Metamorphic
A metamorphic rock with visible layers or bands is said to be foliated. The layers are due to the alignment of minerals or the presence of alternating light and dark bands. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
Foliated rock has parallel layers.
Regional metamorphism
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.
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
