Nonfoliated metamorphic rock definition?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are formed around igneous intrusions where the temperatures are high but the pressures are relatively low and equal in all directions (confining pressure).
Do non-foliated metamorphic rocks contain bands of crystals?
All rocks except volcanic or tectonic glasses have crystals. Therefore all metamorphic rocks have crystals, however in lower metamorphic environments these crystals may remain microscopically small.
Can all rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
no
Do all metamorphic rocks show foliation?
No. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks include quartzite and marble.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.

What are two examples of Metomorphic rocks?
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and quartzite. All metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock types.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.
What kind of rocks can produce metamorphic rocks?
All sedimentary and igneous rocks

Slate schist genisis and hornfels are rocks?
They are all metamorphic rocks.
What are the kinds of solid rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
