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.
What are metamorphic rocks with banded layers called?
Gneiss
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.
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 rock fragments get compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks they are known as?
metamorphic rocks
What are the Metamorphic Rocks that have no layers and are massively crystalline called?
I dont know dude.

What kind of rocks do not have layers?
Igneous rocks, non-foliated metamorphic rocks, and evaporites do not have layers.
What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
What are metamorphic rocks without layers called?
gneiss
What metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?

What are the layers of rock made of?
Layers or strata in sedimentary rock are composed of deposited smaller rock particles and possibly organic matter.

What is the texture called in metamorphic rocks with bands or layers?
