What rock has large inter grown crystals in thin bands?
Gneiss is a type of metamorphic rock that often exhibits large intergrown crystals in thin bands. It forms from the transformation of pre-existing rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions, resulting in a banded appearance with distinct layers of different mineral compositions and grain sizes.
What type of rock contains bands of crystals?
metamorphic rock.
What type of rock have flat layers?
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
Is a metamorphic rock with no banding a nonfoliated rock?
Yes, the other type is a foliate rock with bands of minerals.
Which type of rock forms in layers which are called strata?
Strata refers to the individual layers in sedimentary rock. On occassion, igneous rock can also demonstrate stratification.
What type of rock has distinct bands?
Folliated Metamorphic Rock. Example is Gneiss (Banded Gneiss)
What type of rock is arches?
The arch is made up of either sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock. Most likely sedimentary because the layers in the arch are distinct, solid bands of color, whereas a metamorphic rocks have swirly bands of color from the emense pressure the rock went through. Another reason the rock might be sedimentary is because the arch opening would not be as large if the rock was metamorphic rock, which can whithstand more erosion than sedimentary rock.

What type of rock is Bogenfels Arch?
The arch is made up of either sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock. Most likely sedimentary because the layers in the arch are distinct, solid bands of color, whereas a metamorphic rocks have swirly bands of color from the emense pressure the rock went through. Another reason the rock might be sedimentary is because the arch opening would not be as large if the rock was metamorphic rock, which can whithstand more erosion than sedimentary rock.
What is a type of metamorphic rock that has parallel layers?
Foliated rock has parallel layers.
What type of rock contains bands of crystals?
metamorphic rock.
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.
What metamorphic rock type has flat layers?
Foliated rock
What type of rock forms from layers of sediment?
Sedimentary rock.
What type of rock have flat layers?
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
What type of rock forms in layers?
That would be sedimentary rock, and (honorable mention) occasionally metamorphic rock.
What type of rock has flat layers?
Rase
