How does mylonite form?
mylonite is fromed by two of the eaths plates slideing on top of each other and one of the plates gets pushed down and the rocks on the plate that is getting pushed down to so it terns to magma then a valcano erups and the lava dries and terns to rock.
What is mylonite?
"Mylonite" is a term coined by Charles Lapworth in 1885 to describe a fine grained, well-laminated rock he had found in the Moine Thrust Zone of the Scottish Highlands. The term has come into general usage to indicate any foliated (and usually lineated) fine grained metamorphic rock which shows evidence for strong ductile deformation. The term is purely structural and conveys no indication of the mineralogy of the rock. Thus, a mylonite can be of any rock type.
What has the author Simmon Hanmer written?

What happens when the pressure snaps the rock?
A "fault plane is created, rock layers move relative to one another (rock can melt in the fault plane forming Pseudotachylyte or Mylonite) and energy is released as an earthquake.
What type of rock is most likely to form at a transform boundary?
Rocks that form at transform boundaries are typically fault rocks, such as fault breccia and mylonite. These rocks are characterized by intense deformation due to the shearing forces present at transform boundaries.
What is the list of all the foliated rocks?
Some examples of foliated rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss. These rocks are characterized by their layered or banded appearance, resulting from the alignment of mineral grains under pressure during metamorphism. Other foliated rocks include phyllite and mylonite.
A rock from interlocking crystals that are not lined up?
The rock is likely a type of metamorphic rock called a mylonite, which forms from intense deformation. The crystals are not aligned due to the intense shearing forces during metamorphism, causing the grains to rotate and create a foliation. This unique texture distinguishes mylonites from other types of rocks.
What are called Where rocks on opposite sides of a fault move in opposite directions or in the same direction at different rates?
These types of rocks are known as "fault rocks" or "fault gouge." The movement of rocks on opposite sides of a fault can create various structures such as slickensides, cataclasite, or mylonite, depending on the amount of movement and deformation that has occurred.
