What Mineral alignment in a metamorphic rock usually gives the rock a porphyritic texture?
A porphyritic texture can be a feature of igneous rocks, but 'porphyritic' is not used to describe metamorphic rock texture. Metamorphic rocks can be foliated or non-foliated, terms used to describe mineral alignment or banding, or the lack thereof.
What gives a rock its texture?
The texture of a rock depends on the minerals and/or fossils it contains, as well as the processes the components of the rock went through when it was form. For example, a pumice rock (the one that has a lot of holes) has its texture because the magma that form it lost a lot gas, and while the gas escaped the holes started to form. On the other side, some sedimentary rocks have a lot fossils which gives them their specific texture as well as sedimentary rocks can have ripples which means the sediments that constitute that rock were joint together in a beache where waves were moving constantly. The shape of these waves can tell geologists the direction of the current when the rock was formed.
When mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has what texture?
no texture
