Foliated rocks have a banded or layered appearance due to their mineral alignment, usually from pressure during formation. Non-foliated rocks lack this texture and are formed primarily through recrystallization without directional pressure, resulting in a more uniform appearance.

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 disconformity?
A disconformity is a type of unconformity in geology where the rock layers are parallel, but there is a significant age gap between them due to erosion or non-deposition. This can create a discontinuity in the rock record.
Is marble foliated or non foliated?
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.
What is the the word for a break between rock formation?
An unconformity is a geological term used to describe a break or gap in the rock record where rocks are missing due to erosion or non-deposition. This gap represents a period of time where no rocks were formed, leading to a visible discontinuity in the rock layers.
Is coal clastic or non-clastic?
Coal is considered a non-clastic sedimentary rock because it forms from the compressed remains of plant material rather than from the deposition of rock fragments or grains.
Is conglomerate foliated or non-foliated?
Conglomerate is a non-folliated rock. It is a clastic sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is granite pumiceand marble?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock. Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock. while, Marble is a (non-folliated) metamorphic rock.

How can you differentiate between Muslim and non-Muslim woman's corpse?

What is the difference between a rock and a tree?
A tree is an organic lifeform while a rock is a non-living non-organic structure.
Differentiate between projected and non-projected visuals?
projected visuals need electricity while non-projected visuals do not require electricity to project images on a screen
Is marble a folliated metamorphic rock?
Yes due to it being under pressure and heat. Metamorphic rock is rock that has been transformed chemically and/or physically due to extreme heat and pressure. Marble qualifies because it is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, typically dolomite and/or calcite (think limestone) that has been transformed by the heat and pressure present when it was deep in the crust
