They form when layers of minerals lay on top of each other

When minerals grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rocks has a texture?
A schistose texture.
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals what?
Foliated metamorphic rocks exhibit a layering affect with parallel layers of mineral crystals one on top of the other. A good example of this is gneiss, which has alternating layers of light and dark minerals. Foliation takes place when pressure is applied to crystals and they recrystallize or align themselves at right angles to the direction of the applied directional stress.
What is metamorphic rocks with a non-foliated texture show metamorphic change that involves?

What condition produces the distinct layers of flat and elongated minerals in the foliated metamorphic rocks?
High Pressure.
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.
