Which metamorphic rock had a nonfoliated texture?
Quartzite
Which type of nonfoliated metamorphic rock is granular and made of quartz?
Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock that is granular and composed mainly of quartz. It forms from the metamorphism of quartz-rich sandstone.
Is a metamorphic rock with no banding a nonfoliated rock?
Yes, a metamorphic rock with no banding is classified as a nonfoliated rock. Nonfoliated rocks do not exhibit the layering or banding commonly seen in foliated rocks due to the recrystallization process they undergo during metamorphism.
What metamorphic rock has no obvious alignment of any type of mineral crystals?
Nonfoliated rock
What property distinguishes foliated metamorphic rock such as gneiss and schist from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
A banded texture
Which metamorphic rock had a nonfoliated texture?
Quartzite
Is slate foliated or nonfoliated?
Slate is a foliated metamorphic rock.
What are three examples of nonfoliated metamorphic rock?
Quartzite, Marble, and Soapstone are three examples of nonfoliated rock.
Which type of nonfoliated metamorphic rock is granular and made of quartz?
Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock that is granular and composed mainly of quartz. It forms from the metamorphism of quartz-rich sandstone.
What are the two types metamorphic rock?
The two groups of metamorphic rock are foliated and nonfoliated. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as contact and regional.
Is a metamorphic rock with no banding a nonfoliated rock?
Yes, a metamorphic rock with no banding is classified as a nonfoliated rock. Nonfoliated rocks do not exhibit the layering or banding commonly seen in foliated rocks due to the recrystallization process they undergo during metamorphism.
What metamorphic rock has no obvious alignment of any type of mineral crystals?
Nonfoliated rock
What property distinguishes foliated metamorphic rock such as gneiss and schist from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
A banded texture
Texture term for metamorphic rock which lack banding?
The Texture term for metamorphic rock which are not banded or layered is non-foliated metamorphic rock. Good examples are marble and quartzite.
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).
Is it true or false that the texture of a sedimentary rock that does not have minerals arranged in bands is described as nonfoliated?
False. The terms folidated and nonfoliated apply to metamorphic rocks.
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. :)
