What type of rock texture results when extreme pressure cause mineral in metamorphic rock to realign or when minerals separate out into dark and light bands?
I do believe that the answer is "foliated". However I am not positive, but I do know that... Banding is another word for foliation, which is the grouping of certain minerals with the rock forming parallel bands that are perpendicular to the pressure that causes its formation. Banding of different minerals give some metamorphic rocks a striped appearance, involving the segregation of light and dark minerals into layers. Good luck with your question and I hope that this information has helped.

What is a way a mineral appears?
Minerals appear in many different ways. Opaque minerals do not allow light to pass through them. Isotropic minerals allow light to pass through it the same way no matter how the mineral is held. Anisotropic minerals reflects light depending up how the grains lay.

What is composed of alternating bands of light and dark silicate minerals?
Gneiss shows such banding. Alternating bands are known to Geologists as Gneissose Banding, and is used to instantly classify the metamorphic rock.
