What major group does foliated rocks belong?
Foliation is a characteristic of some metamorphic rocks.
Which characteristic is most common in sedimentary rocks?
rocky
Which is a characteristic of all nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Lack of banding
Which characteristic is most responsible for the color of different types of rocks?
The mineral constituents of rocks are the major source of their color.
What is a prominently characteristic physical feature of all sedimentary rocks?

Do rocks have cell walls?
No. Cell walls are a characteristic of some living things. Rocks do not live and do not have cells. Therefore they do not have cell walls.
Large scale folding of rocks during the process of mountain building is characteristic of?
Large scale folding of rocks during mountain building is characteristic of compressional tectonic forces, such as in convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. The folding of rocks results from the deformation caused by the compressional forces, leading to the formation of mountain ranges and fold structures.
Which characteristic of rocks tends to increase as the rocks are metamorphosed?
Foliation, or the alignment of mineral grains in a preferred direction, tends to increase as rocks experience metamorphism. This results in a layered appearance in metamorphic rocks, such as schist and gneiss.
What mineral composition is most characteristic of mafic rocks?
olivine, pyroxene, and calcium-rich plagioclase
Is shale rocks attracted to a magnet?
No, shale rocks are not typically attracted to a magnet because they are composed primarily of clay minerals and other non-magnetic materials. Magnetism is generally not a characteristic of shale rocks.
