Marble and quartzite are two examples of metamorphic rocks that lack banding and are massive. The lack of banding may indicate that the metamorphism may be due to a greater factor of heat than of pressure.

What is a kind of non foliated metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands. Foliated rocks are formed under great pressure and heat, and when they cool they have a banded grain pattern.
What kind of rocks do not have layers?
Igneous rocks, non-foliated metamorphic rocks, and evaporites do not have layers.
What kind of rock is formed with heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks, like slate or quartizite, or even diamonds.
What kind of metamorphic rock is formed where rocks have been heated but not deformed?
a rock with metamorphic minerals but no foliation or lineation
Which rock is formed from another kind of rock under great heat and pressure?
These will be metamorphic rocks:Regional metamorphosis occurs under heat and pressureThermal/contact metamorphosis occurs under heat only
Which kind of metamorphic rocks are massiv and lack banding?
nonfoliated rocks
Which kind of metamorphic rock is massive and has no banding?
The type of metamorphic rock would be classified as a nonfoliated metamorphic rock, like quartzite and marble.
What kind of rocks are non-foliated?
Certain metamorphic rocks that do not exhibit foliation (banding, lamellar texture) like quartzite and marble are described as non-foliated.
What kind of metamorphic rock has its mineral grains arranged in bands or planes?
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
What is a kind of non foliated metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands. Foliated rocks are formed under great pressure and heat, and when they cool they have a banded grain pattern.
What kind of rock does a metamorphic rock start as?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
What is the definoiton of metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rocks can produce metamorphic rocks?
All sedimentary and igneous rocks
What kind of rocks is rhodochrosite found in?
In Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks.
When rocks change form what kind of conservation is it?
metamorphic
What kind of rocks do not have layers?
Igneous rocks, non-foliated metamorphic rocks, and evaporites do not have layers.
What two kinds of rocks are formed from all thre kind of rocks?
Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
