Why do some metamorphic rocks such as quartzite marble and soapstone not have distinct layers?
Porkchops
Metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
Sedimentary rocks have layers, not metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks such as marble and quartzite are said to be what because their mineral grains are not arranged in parallel layers or bands?
Nonfoliated
What are the characteristics of foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks that look like they have layers or the appearance of layers. Non-foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks without any foliation.
What rock has large inter grown crystals in thin bands?
Gneiss is a type of metamorphic rock that often exhibits large intergrown crystals in thin bands. It forms from the transformation of pre-existing rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions, resulting in a banded appearance with distinct layers of different mineral compositions and grain sizes.
Metamorphic rocks with no distinct layers or bands are said to be what?
Non-foliated.
Do foliated rocks have layers?
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks generally do not have distinct layering.
What is the texture called in metamorphic rocks with bands or layers?
foliated

How does a foliated metamorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rocks have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands that are said to be foliated.
Is a metamorphic rock banded and nonbanded?
Those are two types of metamorphic rocks. Banded metamorphic rocks are when rocks layer into layers and they look like strips or Bands. Non banded is the opposite of banded
Metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
Sedimentary rocks have layers, not metamorphic rocks.
What is difference between a foliated and an unfoliated metamorphic rock.?
foliated rocks are arranged in parallel layers, or bands. Unfoliated rocks are not banded and are not put into parallel layers.
What condition produces the distinct layers of flat and elongated minerals in the foliated metamorphic rocks?
High Pressure.
Metamorphic rocks such as marble and quartzite are said to be what because their mineral grains are not arranged in parallel layers or bands?
Nonfoliated
What are the characteristics of foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks that look like they have layers or the appearance of layers. Non-foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks without any foliation.
What kind of rocks do not have layers?
Igneous rocks, non-foliated metamorphic rocks, and evaporites do not have layers.
