What do metamorphic rocks with a non-foliated texture show metamorphic changes involve?
mineral grains arranging into layers.
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 rocks with a non-foliated texture show metamorphic change that involves?

How does a foliated metamorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rocks have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands that are said to be foliated.
What is metamorphic rock in which mineral crystals are arranged in parallel layers or band?
They are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
What is a type of metamorphic rock in which mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers?
schist
When a mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has a?
no texture
When mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has what texture?
no texture
What do metamorphic rocks with a non-foliated texture show metamorphic changes involve?
mineral grains arranging into layers.
What type of metamorphic rock is composed of mineral grains arranged in parallel layers?
Foliated.
When mineral grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rock has a?
A schistose texture.
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 a type of metamorphic rock in which mineral grains recrystallize but do not form layers?
Those would be non-foliated metamorphic rocks, like quartzite and marble.
Metamorphic rocks such as marble and quartzite are said to be what because their mineral grains are not arranged in parallel layers or bands?
Nonfoliated
