The presence of aligned minerals in the rock determines if it is foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have minerals that are arranged in layers or bands, while non-foliated rocks do not show any preferred orientation of minerals. The amount of pressure and temperature the rock experiences during metamorphism also influences whether it will develop a foliated or non-foliated texture.
Foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals, while non-foliated rocks do not exhibit this feature.
Metamorphic rock can be either foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have layered or banded textures, while non-foliated metamorphic rocks lack these layers and have a more uniform appearance. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include schist and gneiss, while examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks include marble and quartzite.
The main subcategories of metamorphic rock are foliated (such as schist and gneiss) and non-foliated (such as marble and quartzite). Foliated rocks have layers or bands due to the alignment of mineral grains, while non-foliated rocks do not have a layered structure.
Metamorphic rocks with grains arranged randomly are said to be non-foliated. This means they do not have a layered or banded structure like foliated metamorphic rocks. Examples include marble and quartzite.
Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock, meaning it does not have visible layers or banding. It is formed from the recrystallization of limestone under high heat and pressure.

Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
Metamorphic rocks can be categorized into two main categories: foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains, while non-foliated metamorphic rocks lack this layered structure.
Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.

The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
