Metamorphic rocks are catagorized into two main types: foliated and non-foliated. Three examples of foliated metamorphic rocks are gniess, slate and schist. Some non-foliated rocks include marble, amphibolite and quartzite.
Generally, metamorphic rock, and the metamorphic processes can be divided into three categories: regional, contact, and cataclastic.
