a rock that is not layered
foliated
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
Conglomerate is a non-folliated rock. It is a clastic sedimentary rock.
Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock, meaning it does not have visible layers or banding. It is formed from the recrystallization of limestone under high heat and pressure.
The type of rock that can be foliated and/or non-foliated is the Igneous rock.
metamorphic
Limestone is the parent of rock of non foliated metamorphic. This is a very old type of rock.
A rock that exhibits a non layered structure
The main subcategories of metamorphic rock are foliated (such as schist and gneiss) and non-foliated (such as marble and quartzite). Foliated rocks have layers or bands due to the alignment of mineral grains, while non-foliated rocks do not have a layered structure.
Bituminous coal is a non-foliated rock. It is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction and alteration of plant material, which does not exhibit any foliation or layering like metamorphic rocks do.
The presence of aligned minerals in the rock determines if it is foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have minerals that are arranged in layers or bands, while non-foliated rocks do not show any preferred orientation of minerals. The amount of pressure and temperature the rock experiences during metamorphism also influences whether it will develop a foliated or non-foliated texture.
