Foliated and non-foliated. Foliated rocks have an alignment of all their minerals. Some have band, some just look like all their minerals are lying flat against each other. For example schist or gneiss.
Non-foliated rocks look more crystalline, like sugar cubes salt pressed together , with no pattern to their mineral arrangement like marble and quartzite.
Hope I helped I'm only in the sixth grade.
What else can I help you with?
Is a sedimentary rock an igneous rock?
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
Is there a rock in every rock category?
yes there is ther are 3 categories metamorphic,sedimentary,and igneous
What is a changed rock in 2 words?
metamorphic rock
What are the three categories that rocks are classified in?
Igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary are the three rock types.
What 2 things are required to produce metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure are required to produce metamorphic rock from sedimentary or igneous rock.
Are there four kinds of rock?
There are three broad categories of rock (Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary) but these are themselves further subdivided into a large number of differing rocks.
What are facts about metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by pressure and heat. You can tell them apart by their texture. The 2 categories of texture are foliated or non-foliated. Foliation refers to the layering and alignment of the rocks crystals. Metamorphic rocks are also identified by looking at its mineral composition. For instance Quartzite is identified by its quartz sand grains.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
What can you find in a metamorphic rock?
in a metamorphic rock you find rock.
Is chert a metamorphic rock?
Chert is NOT a metamorphic rock.
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
What are the main sub categories of the metamorphic rock?
The main subcategories of metamorphic rock are foliated (such as schist and gneiss) and non-foliated (such as marble and quartzite). Foliated rocks have layers or bands due to the alignment of mineral grains, while non-foliated rocks do not have a layered structure.
