What else can I help you with?
What is the definition of foliated rocks?
rocks that do not have a layered structure.
What is it called when younger rocks are layered on top of older rocks?

Are sedimentary rocks usually layered?
Yes
What types of landforms do you think would have layers?
Those made out of layered sedimentary rocks Those made out of layered igneous rocks Those made out of metamorphic rocks with pronounced planar fabric.
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 do you call the layering in igneous rocks?
"layering" As in "layered" igneous intrusion.
What is the difference between foliate and nonfloliated rocks?
Foliated rocks have a layered or banded structure due to the alignment of minerals, like slate or schist. Non-foliated rocks lack this layered structure and instead have a more uniform composition, like marble or quartzite.
What (who)are stromatolites?
The stromatolites are the layered mounds, columns, and the sheet-like sedimentary rocks.

Their layered structure :)
What features tells you how a rock is layered?
Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers as strata. The feature that tells how a sedimentary rock is layered is called the bedding.
What are the classes of metamorphic rocks?
The classes of metamorphic rocks include foliated rocks, which have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals, and non-foliated rocks, which lack a layered structure. Foliated rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss, while non-foliated rocks include marble and quartzite.
