Is gneiss nonfoliated?
No. Gneiss has foliation in the form of alternating light and dark bands.
Which feature would easily distinguish schist and gneiss from quartzite and marble?
schist and gneiss arefoliated and in gneiss you can see the bands.
What type of rock has distinct bands?
Folliated Metamorphic Rock. Example is Gneiss (Banded Gneiss)
How does gneiss differ from the rock it was formed?
They are both metamorphic rocks. One difference is the rocks they are formed from. Gneiss is formed from Feldspar and Quartz. Gneiss can also contain muscovite, biotite and hornblende. Quartzite is formed from sandstone. Also Gneiss is more intensely foliated than Quartzite. This can be seen in the bands formed in Gneiss, while quartzite has no bands. Pure quartzite is white, while Gneiss is grey or pink, with dark streaks.
The metamorphic rock texture that has alternating bands of light and dark minerals is?
gneiss
