Is sedimentary rock the only type of layered rock?
No. Extrusive igneous rocks are usually layered. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which resembles layering, but it is not the same thing.
What is metamorphic rock banding?

Which type of rock can be either foliated or non-foisted?
Foliation is a geologic term that is used to describe the appearance of metamorphic rocks. Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss display banding and regrouping of its mineral constituents as a result of enormous pressures and heat. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of pressure. The pressure is usually related to tectonic plate collisions. Schist is another type of foliated rock that exhibits thin layering of micaceous minerals, once again due to pressure and heat. The difference between these two types of foliated rock lies in the rock from which they were derived. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as quartzite and marble do not display the banding or layering that are present in foliated rocks. This is because their parent rock was usually sedimentary and more pure in mineral composition than the parent rocks of foliated rocks.
What type of drainage pattern will most likely develop in a landscape that has jointed erosion resistant bed rock?
Rectangular
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
What type of rock forms from layering of eroded rock?
sedimentary
Is sedimentary rock the only type of layered rock?
No. Extrusive igneous rocks are usually layered. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which resembles layering, but it is not the same thing.
What is gniess?
Gneiss is a type of metamorphic rock. It is usually grey or pink toned with the look of dark layering or streaking. It is considered medium to coarse grained.
What shows how rocks change one type to other?
The rock cycle
What is a diagram that shows how roks change from one type to another?
rock cycle
WHAT TYPE OF MAP SHOWS THE ROCK LAYERS INSID A LANDFORM?
a road map

Is a model that shows how rocks are recycled from one type to another?
the rock cycle is correct
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.
Post 1982 pennies were made of what type of metal?
Zinc with a thin outer layering of copper
What rock type has large crystals in no paticular pattern?
Non-foliated metamorphic rock is composed of non-layered visible mineral crystals.
What type of rock is unlikely to have a fossil in it?
Igneous rock does not normally preserve fossils. But hot rock or ash will occasionally preserve the shape as a molded impression.The rock you most likely will find a rock in is a sedimentary rock because the pattern of the organisms in the sediment is preserved.
