When mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has what texture?
no texture
A metamorphic rock that has grains arranged in parallel layers has a what texture?
It has a foliated texture.
What is the texture called in metamorphic rocks with bands or layers?
foliated
When minerals grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rocks has a texture?
A schistose texture.
When a mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has a?
no texture
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.
When mineral grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rock has a?
A schistose texture.
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.
When a metamorphic rock exhibits a layered or banded appearance it is said to exhibit what type of texture?
When a metamorphic rock exhibits a layered or banded appearance, it is said to exhibit foliated texture. This texture is a result of the alignment of mineral grains or the presence of alternating light and dark layers. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include gneiss and schist.
A metamorphic rock that has visible layers or bands?
Schist is a metamorphic rock that has visible layers or bands due to the alignment of platy minerals like mica and chlorite during the metamorphic process. These layers or bands give schist its distinctive foliated texture and can vary in color and composition depending on the minerals present.
What do metamorphic rocks with a non-foliated texture show metamorphic changes involve?
Metamorphic rocks with a non-foliated texture show that the metamorphic changes involved did not result in the development of a preferred alignment of mineral grains. This indicates that the rocks were subjected to directed pressure or high temperatures without causing the minerals to align into layers. Examples of non-foliated rocks include marble and quartzite.
