Would you expect to find foliated or nonfoliated metamorphic rocks next to a lava flow?

. I would expect to find nonfoliated rock next to a lava flow because the rock can form when rock is subjected to high temperatures. Hornfels, which often forms when magma or lava touches other rock, is nonfoliated.

What classification of metamorphic rocks would include whether they are?
foliated or nonfoliated
What would distinguish marble from Schist?
Marble is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock made of carbonate minerals, particularly calcite. It is formed by the metamorphism or limestone. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock made of silicate minerals such as quartz and feldspars, and micas. It forms from the metamorphism of granite or schist.
What is a nonfoliated texture?
A non-foliated rock is a metamorphic rock that does not display a lamellar texture or distinct light and dark banding common to foliated metamorphic rocks. Non-foliated rock includes quartzite, marble, and metabasalt. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks are most often derived from single mineral sedimentary rocks like limestone and quartz sandstone. == == == ==
Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower then the melting point of rock?
If the rock melts the resulting rock type would be igneous rather than metamorphic.
What type of metamorphism would result in a schist?
Most schists are derived from phyllite, a lower grade metamorphic rock.
A classification of metamorphic rocks would inculde whether they are?
foliated and nonfoliated
What classification of metamorphic rocks would include whether they are?
foliated or nonfoliated
How can you deterime if a metamorphic rock should be classfied as foliated nonfoilated?
if it is banded or striped that would mean it is foliated if has neither then it isn't foliated
Which kind of metamorphic rock is massive and has no banding?
The type of metamorphic rock would be classified as a nonfoliated metamorphic rock, like quartzite and marble.
What would distinguish marble from Schist?
Marble is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock made of carbonate minerals, particularly calcite. It is formed by the metamorphism or limestone. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock made of silicate minerals such as quartz and feldspars, and micas. It forms from the metamorphism of granite or schist.
Is bituminous coal foliated or non-foliated?
Bituminous coal is considered a sedimentary rock and therefore would not be foliated or non-foliated, terms which are used to describe metamorphic rock.
What is a nonfoliated texture?
A non-foliated rock is a metamorphic rock that does not display a lamellar texture or distinct light and dark banding common to foliated metamorphic rocks. Non-foliated rock includes quartzite, marble, and metabasalt. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks are most often derived from single mineral sedimentary rocks like limestone and quartz sandstone. == == == ==
A metamorphic rock that has grains arranged in bands is said to be?
The rock would be described as being foliated.
What type of metamorphic texture has no banding?
No banding or alignment of a metamorphic rock's minerals would be consider non-foliated.
What would you look for to determine if a metamorphic rock is foliated?
grains arranged in solid bands.
Are there any foliated rocks in Pennsylvania?
There should be plenty of foliated metamorphic rocks in Pennsylvania, due to the erosion of the Appalachian Mountains. Another source for foliated metamorphic rocks in Pennsylvania would be from glacial drift dropped from previous glacial episodes which were torn and transported from areas in Canada.
What type of cookie would be similar to foliated metamorphic rock?
