Which is a characteristic of all nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Lack of banding
Metamorphic rocks that do not have distinct layers or bands?
non-foliated.
What are the two categories of metamorphic rocks?
Foliated--those exhibiting layering (gneiss, slate, schists), and non-foliated--without layers (marble, quartzite).
Is it true that foliated metamorphic rocks have mineral grains that are randomly placed?
It is not true. Metamorphic rock foliation is displayed as banding or layering due to mineral alignment.
What is the difference between foliated and non-foliated rock textures?
In subject of metamorphic rocks, to be foliated is to have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands. Non foliated is when the rocks' grains are made randomly in no arranged pattern.Reference:Prentice Hall Earth Science 2009
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.
Which kind of metamorphic rocks are massiv and lack banding?
nonfoliated rocks

What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
What is the texture term for metamorphic rocks which lack banding?
Non-foliated
Metamorphic rocks that do not have distinct layers or bands?
non-foliated.

What is a metamophic rock?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that is formed from heat and pressure it can form from a sedimentary or igneous an example of a metamorphic rock is marble metamorphic rocks can have foliation like banding or layers.
What rock has stripes or layers in it?
Sedimentary rock can display strata, and some metamorphic rocks display metamorphic foliation; both can appear as stripes, layering, or banding.
Is it true that foliated metamorphic rocks have mineral grains that are randomly placed?
It is not true. Metamorphic rock foliation is displayed as banding or layering due to mineral alignment.
Very complex rocks families that exhibit the characteristic of banding due to extreme heat and or pressure are called?
metamorphic
What is the difference between foliated and non-foliated rock textures?
In subject of metamorphic rocks, to be foliated is to have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands. Non foliated is when the rocks' grains are made randomly in no arranged pattern.Reference:Prentice Hall Earth Science 2009
