What is a folitated rock?
A foliated rock is a type of metamorphic rock created when mineral grains flatten and line up in parallel bands. So in other words is a rock that has parallel lines in it and you are able to see them.
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. == == == ==
What is a vertical rays?
the parallel of latitude 23½ degrees south latitude marking the southern limit of Sun's vertical rays
In which type of front is the flow of air on both sides of the front almost parallel to the line of the front?
A warm front ^wrong answer^
How can an igneous or metamorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock can change from that to a metamorphic rock then into an Igneous rock. e.g. Mudstone (sedimentary) is in the Zone of Diagenesis, when it is subjected to regional metamorphism (in mountain belts) it changes from a mudstone to a slate (low grade) then to a Phillite (medium grade) then a Schist (medium) then a gneiss (high grade) then into a Milonite (high grade) then once past the line of partial melting it has so much pressure and so much temperature that it turns into an Igneos rock. This is the basic explanation of this. If you want to know more, just ask me.Sedimentary rocks are changed into metamorphic by being buried deep enough that the heat and pressure alter their text, mineralogy, or other characteristics.

crystal

When mineral grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rock has a?
A schistose texture.
When minerals grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rocks has a texture?
A schistose texture.
How do you draw a line parallel to a given line?
[A Parallel line is a straight line, opposite to another, that do not intersect or meet.] Ie. Line 1 is Parallel to Line 2. ------------------------------------------------- <Line 1 ------------------------------------------------- <Line 2
What is a line which cuts parallel line?
The line that cuts a parallel line is called a TRANSVERSAL. When you have parallel lines and you want to show like corresponding, vertical, ect.... then the line that cut through the parallel lines is a TRANSVERSAL
How do you find a slope of a line parallel?
Line a is parallel to line b, m, and . Find .
What is the need of parallel line algorithm?
Do you mean "Why might a parallel line algorithm be needed?" or "What properties does a parallel line algorithm need to have?".
What is the slope of a line parallel to a vertical line?
A vertical line has an undefined slope. For the line to be parallel to a vertical line, the slopes would have to be the same. Therefore, the line parallel to a vertical line also has an undefined slope.
How do you draw a parallel line with a set square?
draw line st parallel to line mn
How do you classify a parallel line?
I classify a parallel line as two line segments that will never intersect if the line kept going. They are perfectly straight and even.
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular line on rectangle?
The difference between a perpendicular line and a parallel line is that a perpendicular line crosses or joins, while a parallel line doesn't touch at all.
