Perhaps "banded rocks"...
What else can I help you with?
What is the texture called in metamorphic rocks with bands or layers?
foliated
What are the bands of different colored or structured materials in some sedimentary rocks called?
The different bands in sedimentary formations are called strata.
What are rocks called with alternating bands of light and dark silicate minerals?
Rocks with alternating bands of light and dark silicate minerals are called gneiss. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock formed under high temperature and pressure conditions, which causes the minerals within it to align in bands or layers.
Do sedimentary rocks have bands?
........... No.........
What are rocks with stripes called?
Rocks with stripes are known as banded rocks or striped rocks. These stripes are often caused by the layering of different minerals or the presence of alternating bands of different mineral compositions within the rock.
What kind of metamorphic rock has its mineral grains arranged in planes of bands?
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
What is metamorphic rocks that have parellel bands of minerals?
It is foliated
What kind of metamorphic rock has its mineral grains arranged in bands or planes?
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks that do not have distinct layers or bands?
non-foliated.
Do sedimentary rocks have bands of minerals?
Yes, sedimentary rocks can contain bands or layers of minerals. These bands are often formed through various processes such as sediment deposition, compaction, and cementation. The minerals within these bands can vary in composition and can provide valuable information about the depositional environment and the history of the rock.
Why do sedimentary and metamorphic rocks have bands of colors?
they have more crystals
What are metamorphic rocks that have banded appearance due to alignment of materials called?
Metamorphic rocks that have a banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals are called foliated metamorphic rocks. This banding occurs as a result of directional pressure during metamorphism, causing the minerals to realign and form distinct layers or bands. Common examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include schist and gneiss.
