Layered metamorphic rock is one that has a foliated or banded appearance due to exposure to heat and directed pressure. Examples: phyllite and slate.
What else can I help you with?
What is a type of metamorphic rock that has parallel layers?
Foliated rock has parallel layers.
What is the name of a rock that has twisted layers?
metamorphic rock
How many layers do metamorphic layers have?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that has been changed from one rock to another by heat and/or pressure.....they amount of layers would depend on what kind of rock.....all rocks have a different amount of layers sorry
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.
A metamorphic rock with visible layers or bands is said to be what?
A metamorphic rock with visible layers or bands is said to be foliated. The layers are due to the alignment of minerals or the presence of alternating light and dark bands. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
What metamorphic rock type has flat layers?
Foliated rock
When a mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has a?
no texture
What Metamorphic rock that don't have layers?
non-foliated.
What type of metamorphic rock has flat layers?
The type of metamorphic rock that has flat layers is called "foliated metamorphic rock." Foliation occurs when pressure causes the minerals in the rock to align in parallel layers or bands. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include schist, slate, and gneiss. These layered structures result from the rearrangement of minerals under heat and pressure.
How are slate and marble different?
Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
What rock forms when sediment is squezed into layers by the weight of the rock above it?
Metamorphic rock.
What type of rock forms in layers?
That would be sedimentary rock, and (honorable mention) occasionally metamorphic rock.
