nonfoliated rocks
What else can I help you with?
What kind of metamorphic rocks are massive and lack banding?
Marble and quartzite are two examples of metamorphic rocks that lack banding and are massive. The lack of banding may indicate that the metamorphism may be due to a greater factor of heat than of pressure.
What kind of rocks are non-foliated?
Certain metamorphic rocks that do not exhibit foliation (banding, lamellar texture) like quartzite and marble are described as non-foliated.
What kind of metamorphic rock has its mineral grains arranged in bands or planes?
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
What is a kind of non foliated metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands. Foliated rocks are formed under great pressure and heat, and when they cool they have a banded grain pattern.
What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
What is the definoiton of metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rocks can produce metamorphic rocks?
All sedimentary and igneous rocks
What kind of rocks is rhodochrosite found in?
In Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks.
Which kind of metamorphic rock is massive and has no banding?
Marble is a metamorphic rock that is massive and lacks banding. It forms from the recrystallization of limestone and is composed mostly of the mineral calcite. Marbles are often used in architecture and sculpture due to their aesthetic qualities.
What kind of metamorphic rocks have banding?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock of variable composition with distinct banded layers. The layers or banding are called foliations, the result of the alignment of mineral grains in a direction perpendicular to the direction of pressure being exerted on the rock.
When rocks change form what kind of conservation is it?
metamorphic
What two kinds of rocks are formed from all thre kind of rocks?
Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
