Is basalt foliated or non foliated?
Niether. Foliation is a characteristic of metamorphic rocks. Basalt is igneous.
Is dacite foliated or non-foliated?
Neither. Foliation is a term that applies to metamorphic rocks. Dacite is igneous.
What are the 4 ways that geologists classify rocks?
Geologists classify rocks based on their origin (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), grain size (fine-grained, coarse-grained), mineral composition (feldspar-rich, quartz-rich), and texture (foliated, non-foliated).
What foliated metamorphic rock forms when the sedimentary rock shale is subjected to relatively low temperatures and pressure?
The foliated metamorphic rock that forms when shale is subjected to relatively low temperatures and pressure is called slate. Slate is characterized by its fine grained texture and ability to be split into thin sheets.
What type of metamorphic rock could be produced from mud?
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
What is an example of fine grained foliated metamorphic rocks?
Phyllite is an example of a fine-grained foliated metamorphic rock
What is an example of a fine-grained metamorphic rock?
Slate
What is an example of a foliated metamorphic rock?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
Is schist foliated or non- foliated?
Chert is non-foliated. Foliation is a term that is used mainly to describe the appearance or texture of metamorphic rock. Chert is a sedimentary rock, composed mostly of microcrystalline quartz.
What type of rock is phylitte?
Phyllite is a type of metamorphic rock that forms from the metamorphism of slate. It is characterized by its sheen, fine-grained texture, and foliated structure.
Is basalt foliated or non foliated?
Niether. Foliation is a characteristic of metamorphic rocks. Basalt is igneous.
Is dacite foliated or non-foliated?
Neither. Foliation is a term that applies to metamorphic rocks. Dacite is igneous.
Is a fine grained rock is slate?
Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that is created by the alteration of shale or mudstone by low-grade regional metamorphism. It is popular for a wide variety of uses such as roofing, flooring and flagging because of its durability and attractive appearance.
What are the 4 ways that geologists classify rocks?
Geologists classify rocks based on their origin (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), grain size (fine-grained, coarse-grained), mineral composition (feldspar-rich, quartz-rich), and texture (foliated, non-foliated).
Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
Is slate magnetic?
No, slate is not magnetic. Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that is formed from the compression of mudstone and shale. It does not contain magnetic minerals that would make it magnetic.
Is rock smooth or rough?
Metamorphic rock can be coarse grained or fine grained.
