Features used to identify a non-foliated rock?
Non foliated rocks can be identified by their: 1. texture (fine to coarse grained) 2. luster (glass, waxy, greasy, earth, etc.) 3. color 4. hardness (using the Mohs scale) 5. streak (color of powder when scratched on unglazed ceramic)
How many metamorphic rock are there?
Metamorphic rocks have been modified by heat, pressure and chemical process usually while buried deep below Earth's surface. Exposure to these extreme conditions has altered the mineralogy, texture and chemical composition of the rocks. There are two basic types of metamorphic rocks: 1) foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist and slate which have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure; and, 2) non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as marble and quartzite which do not have a layered or banded appearance. Pictures and brief descriptions of some common types of metamorphic rocks are provided below.

Which scenes show examples of mechanial weathering why?
Scenes where rocks are being broken down by processes like frost wedging, root wedging, and abrasion would show examples of mechanical weathering. For example, scenes depicting water seeping into cracks in rocks and freezing, causing the rocks to break apart, or roots growing into cracks and breaking rocks apart would be examples of mechanical weathering. You might also see scenes where rocks are being worn down and smoothed by constant rubbing or hitting against each other.
What are examples clastic sedimentary?
Sandstone, conglomerate, and breccia are examples of clastic sedimentary rock, composed of particles of other rocks.

What are the 2 major textures of metamorphism rocks?
The two major textures of metamorphic rocks are foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks, such as schist and gneiss, exhibit a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals under directed pressure. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks, like marble and quartzite, do not display this layering; instead, they typically have a more uniform texture and are formed under conditions where pressure is applied equally in all directions.
How do you classify metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are classified as being foliated or being non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have visible banding or sheet-like layering. Slate, phyllite, gneiss, and schist are foliated metamorphic rocks. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not display banding or layering. Marble and quartzite are non-foliated metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as either regional metamorphic rocks or contact metamorphic rocks, depending on their method of formation.
How you will know that the rock is metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are typically identified by their foliated texture, which means they have layers or bands. They may also show signs of recrystallization due to high pressure and temperature underground. Chemical composition and the presence of specific mineral crystals can also help determine if a rock is metamorphic.
What are the 2 categories of metamorphic rock?
Foliated and non-foliated. Foliated rocks have an alignment of all their minerals. Some have band, some just look like all their minerals are lying flat against each other. For example schist or gneiss.Non-foliated rocks look more crystalline, like sugar cubes salt pressed together , with no pattern to their mineral arrangement like marble and quartzite.Hope I helped I'm only in the sixth grade.

What is an example of a foliated metamorphic rock?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
What are the two types of metamorphic rock?
The two classifications of metamorphic rock are foliated and non-foliated:1. Foliated metamorphic rock such as gneiss display banding and regrouping of its mineral constituents as a result of enormous pressures and heat. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of pressure. The pressure is usually related to tectonic plate collisions. Schist is another type of foliated rock that exhibits thin layering of micaceous minerals, once again due to pressure and heat. The difference between these two types of foliated rock lies in the rock from which they were derived.2. Non-foliated metamorphic rock such as quartzite and marble do not display the banding or layering that are present in foliated rocks. This is because their parent rock was usually sedimentary and more pure in mineral composition than the parent rocks of foliated rocks.Metamorphic rock can also be classified as regional (from broad processes such as plate tectonics) or contact (from proximity to an invading heat source).
What are the 2 characteristics used to identify metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are primarily identified by their texture and mineral composition. Texture refers to the arrangement and size of mineral grains, which can be foliated (layered) or non-foliated (lacking distinct layers). Mineral composition involves the presence of specific minerals that indicate the conditions of pressure and temperature under which the rock formed. Together, these characteristics help geologists determine the history and formation conditions of the metamorphic rock.
