no texture
What do metamorphic rocks with a non-foliated texture show metamorphic changes involve?
mineral grains arranging into layers.
What type of metamorphic rock is composed of mineral grains arranged in parallel layers?
Foliated.
What is a type of metamorphic rock in which mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers?
schist
When mineral grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rock has a?
A schistose texture.
Does metamorphic rock have layers?
Not exactly. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which can appear similar to the layers of sedimentary rock. Foliation develops from mineral grains being oriented by pressure, rather than the deposition of layers.
A type of metamorphic rock in which mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers?
Foliated is the general descriptive term used to describe the layering or banding of metamorphic rock.
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 kind of metamorphic rock has mineral grains arrangend in bands?
There are two answers to this question1) gneissicfor bands in such as granitic gneiss2) foliated for thin layers seen in schist.
How does a foliated metamorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rocks have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands that are said to be foliated.
