What are three types of foliated rock?
Metamorphic rocks are catagorized into two main types: foliated and non-foliated. Three examples of foliated metamorphic rocks are gniess, slate and schist. Some non-foliated rocks include marble, amphibolite and quartzite. Generally, metamorphic rock, and the metamorphic processes can be divided into three categories: regional, contact, and cataclastic.
What is a metamorphic rock that has parallel alignment of mineral grains?
A folliated texture metamorphic rock, like shist.
Can slate turn into another metamorphic rock?
Yes, slate, which is a fine-grained metamorphic rock formed from the metamorphism of shale, can further undergo metamorphism to transform into another metamorphic rock. The process of changing one metamorphic rock into another is known as metamorphic progression or metamorphic differentiation. If slate undergoes increased heat and pressure over time, it can undergo further metamorphism and transform into a different type of metamorphic rock. The specific type of rock it may transform into depends on the intensity of the metamorphic conditions. For example, if the temperature and pressure increase significantly, slate might progress to phyllite, schist, and eventually, if conditions are extreme, it could transform into gneiss. Metamorphic rocks form through the alteration of existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) due to heat, pressure, or chemically reactive fluids over geological time. The process of metamorphism involves changes in mineral composition, texture, and structure.
How is gneiss rock formed?
Gneiss is formed from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to intense directional pressure and heat, causing an alignment of their constituent minerals into parallel bands, a texture that is referred to as foliation.
Which rock is foliated shows mineral alignment but not banding and contains medium sized grains of quartz and pyroxene?
shist
According to the rock cycle what is formed into metamorphic rock?
Basically it can be the other two types of rock in the cycle; igneous and sedimentary. Given a sufficient amount of heat and pressure is applied, any rock turns into a metamorphic rock. If a sedimentary rock such as mudstone gets metamorphosed it turns into slate. If on the other hand, an igneous type rock such as granite it can be transformed into a gneiss (high grade) or a shist (mid-grade).

How does shist form?
Large-scale regional (mainly pressure) metamorphism of sedimentary rocks originating from clay-forming minerals.
