slate
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.
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.
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.
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.

The two textures of metamorphic rocks are the Foliate and Non-foliate textures.
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
Foliation is a descriptive term applied to certain types of metamorphic rocks, so, by definition, Yes, a folate rock is metamorphic.

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.
Any rock can undergo metamorphism, be it sedimentary, igneous or even the transformation of one type of metamorphic rock to another.
10
yes it does. Even a igneous rock and a sedimentary rock and a metamorphic rock all have crystals in them.
Foliated or nonfilated
Nonfoliated rock
quartzite
Yes, marble is a metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of limestone, which is a sedimentary rock, under high heat and pressure conditions.
