What is the difference between stratification and foliated rocks?

Stratification results in sedimentary rock due to the deposition of organic and inorganic particles. Foliation is a texture in metamorphic rocks which is a result of heat and pressure, and results in constituent minerals appearing banded or lamellar, due to realignment.

What is difference between a foliated and an unfoliated metamorphic rock.?
foliated rocks are arranged in parallel layers, or bands. Unfoliated rocks are not banded and are not put into parallel layers.
What is the difference between foliated and non-foliated?
In subject of metamorphic rocks, to be foliated is to have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands. Non foliated is when the rocks' grains are made randomly in no arranged pattern.Reference:Prentice Hall Earth Science 2009
Do foliated rocks have layers?
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks generally do not have distinct layering.
List examples of foliated and nonfoliated rocksexplain the difference between the two types of metamorphic rocks?
no answer here sorry.. the person that wrote this is stupid
Why can you see layers in foliated rocks but not in nonfoliated rocks?
Because layers from foliated rocks came from the same direction and nonfoliated rocks came from several directions
What is difference between a foliated and an unfoliated metamorphic rock.?
foliated rocks are arranged in parallel layers, or bands. Unfoliated rocks are not banded and are not put into parallel layers.

What is the difference between strata and stratification?
Stratification is the process by sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers. Strata is just the layers of rock
How do you tell between foliated and non foliated?
Well foliated rocks have layers and non foliated does not have layers.
Type of Rock forms in layers?
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
What is the difference between a foliated a non-foliated metamorphic rock?
The Process. Both foliated and nonfoliated rocks begin their lives as either sedimentary, igneous or another metamorphic rock. Type of Pressure. If the pressure applied to the recrystallizing rock is unequal, then a foliated rock will form.

What are the characteristics of foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks that look like they have layers or the appearance of layers. Non-foliated rocks are metamorphic rocks without any foliation.
What is the difference between foliated and non-foliated rock textures?
In subject of metamorphic rocks, to be foliated is to have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands. Non foliated is when the rocks' grains are made randomly in no arranged pattern.Reference:Prentice Hall Earth Science 2009

How are foliated metamorphic rocks different from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.
