What else can I help you with?
Can the mineral grains in a metamorphic rock be flattened?
Yes, and they often are, and appear as foliations.
What type of grains does metamorphic rock have?
Metamorphic rocks can have various types of minerals, such as quartz, feldspar, mica, and amphibole, which form grains within the rock. These grains can be elongated or flattened, depending on the degree of metamorphism the rock has undergone. The size, shape, and alignment of these grains provide valuable information about the rock's history and the conditions under which it formed.
What kind of metamorphic has its minerals grains arrange in planes or band?
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
Is metamorphic rock banded and foliated?
Metamorphic rock can be banded and foliated. Banded metamorphic rock has visible layers or bands of different mineral compositions, while foliated metamorphic rock has a layered or sheet-like appearance due to the alignment of minerals. These patterns are a result of the intense heat and pressure the rock undergoes during metamorphism.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
What can you find in a metamorphic rock?

Is chert a metamorphic rock?
Chert is NOT a metamorphic rock.
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?

Give you a sentence about metamorphic rock?
These rock is Metamorphic. metamorphic rocks are found in Africa.
How can a rock be transformed into a metamorphic rock?
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
What happens to igneous rock in intense heat and pressure?
In intense heat and pressure, igneous rock can undergo metamorphism, transforming into metamorphic rock. This process involves recrystallization of minerals, and the rock may develop foliation or banding patterns. The original texture and mineral composition of the rock can change as a result of this process.
