Is coal a type of nonfoliated metamrophic rock?
No. But a Sedimentary rock, Organic.
What the difference between a foliated rock and a non-foliated rock?
The Process. Both foliated and nonfoliated rocks begin their lives as either sedimentary, igneous or another metamorphic rock. Type of Pressure. If the pressure applied to the recrystallizing rock is unequal, then a foliated rock will form.

On on what basis can metamorphic rocks be identified?
Metamorphic rocks can be identified if the rock is foliated or nonfoliated, foliating type, type of metamorphism (contact/regional), and by probable original rock. :)
Contrast foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foaliated rock can form in one or two ways. Extreme pressure may cause the mineral crystals in the rock to realign or regrow to form parallel bands. Foaliation also occurs as minerals that have different compositions separate to produce a series of alternation dark and light bands. Most nonfoliated metamorphic rocks share at least one or two main characteristics. First, the original rock that is metamorphosed may contain grains of only one mineral or contains very small amounts of other minerals.
What rock type can be extrusive and intrusive?
The type of rock that can be foliated and/or non-foliated is the Igneous rock.
What type of rock can be intrusive and extrusive?
The type of rock that can be foliated and/or non-foliated is the Igneous rock.
Which type of rock do you think is foliated?
i think sedimentary rock is foliated :)
Is a foliated rock easier to break then nonfoliated rock?
Non foliated rocks, such as marble, form from limestone, a common type of sedimentary rock. Foliated rocks form from metamorphic or igneous rocks. Non Foliated rocks are more brittle than foliated rocks making them more susceptible to breakage.
What type of rock can either be foliated or non foliated?
metamorphic
What type of rock has light and dark layers?
foliated.
How you will know that the rock is metamorphic rock?
You can identify metamorphic rocks by various minerals or a lack of thereof (mineralogy), also by foliation: whether they're foliated or non-foliated. If they show presence of shistosity or gneissosity (alignment of minerals ) , fissility and grunular appearance.
