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

Metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
Sedimentary rocks have layers, not metamorphic rocks.
What rock has many layers is flat and comes apart easily?
metamorphic
Does metamorphic rock have layers?
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.
What is metamorphic foliation?
Metamorphic foliation is layering in metamorphic rock. The layers can be very thin, or they can be a meter thick,
A metamorphic rock with visible layers or bands is said to be what?
Visible layers or bands in metamorphic rock is designated as 'foliation' and the rock is said to be 'foliated'.
What rock has layers?
There are many types of rock but this one would either be Sedimantary Igneous Metamorphic
What is a type of metamorphic rock that has parallel layers?
Foliated rock has parallel layers.
What metamorphic has elongated layers?
Regional metamorphism
What is a metamorphic rock that has definite layers?
banded
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 foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
