What is foliated metamorphic rock?
Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss display banding and regrouping of its mineral constituents as a result of enormous pressures. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of pressure. The pressure is usually related to tectonic plate collisions. Schist is another type of foliated rock that exhibits thin layering of micaceous minerals, once again due to pressure. The difference between these two types of foliated rock lies in the amount of pressure which they were exposed to.
