Is metamorphic rock crystalline or composed of crystals?
Metamorphic rock is typically composed of interlocking crystals formed under high pressure and temperature conditions. This means that metamorphic rocks are crystalline in nature, with the crystals often aligned along a preferred orientation.
What type of rock is Chlorite Shist is it Metamorphic Rock or Sedimentary Rock or Igneous Rock?
Chlorite schist is a metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of rocks like shale or volcanic rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions, resulting in the growth of chlorite crystals within the rock.
What is metamorphic rock in which mineral crystals are arranged in parallel layers or band?
The metamorphic rock you are referring to is called foliated rock. Foliated rocks have mineral crystals aligned in parallel layers or bands, resulting from the re-alignment of minerals due to pressure and heat during metamorphism. Examples of foliated rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
Is glass metamorphic?
Crystals are the form that minerals take upon solidification. Metamorphic is a term used to describe a rock that undergoes a chemical or mineral transformation from heat or pressure. New crystals can form in rock undergoing metamorphosis, but the crystals themselves are not considered metamorphic.

Foliate textire with microscopic mic a crystal
What are 2 textures of metamorphic rock?
The two textures of metamorphic rocks are the Foliate and Non-foliate textures.

What type of metamorphism forms foliate rocks?

Does a rock have a Crystal in it?
yes it does. Even a igneous rock and a sedimentary rock and a metamorphic rock all have crystals in them.
In a metamorphic rock the alignment of the crystals or minerals determines whether the rock is?
Foliated or nonfilated
What metamorphic rock has no obvious alignment of any type of mineral crystals?
Nonfoliated rock
Which metamorphic rock will have visible mica crystals and a foliated texture?
quartzite
Is marble metamorphic rock?
Yes, marble is a metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of limestone, which is a sedimentary rock, under high heat and pressure conditions.
