Metamorphic rock is generally considered non-porous because the intense heat and pressure involved in its formation typically cause the minerals to recrystallize and compact, filling any pre-existing pore spaces. However, the porosity can vary depending on the specific type of metamorphic rock and its mineral composition; for example, some schists may have slight porosity due to their foliation. Overall, most metamorphic rocks exhibit low permeability and minimal porosity compared to sedimentary rocks.

A metamorphic rock that has no layers is called what?
It is called Non-foliated.
What is a non-foliated contact metamorphic rock called?
A non-foliated contact metamorphic rock is called a hornfels. Hornfels is called so because of its exceptional toughness and texture both reminiscent of animal horns.
What type of rock is granite pumiceand marble?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock. Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock. while, Marble is a (non-folliated) metamorphic rock.
What are some ways to use 'non-foliated' in a sentence?
The geologist could see that the metamorphic rock was non foliated as it did not contain aligned minerals in bands.
Is metamorphic rock non-porus or igneous rock is non - porous?

Is metamorphic rock non porous rock?
Yes. Since metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed through intense heat and pressure, they have been compacted and are more dense. For example, a conglomerate is a sedimentary rock comprised of large grains of gravel that have been cemented together, and can be porous. When a conglomerate undergoes massive heat and pressure, it is metamorphosed into a metaconglomerate, which is more dense and not at all porous.
Three non-porous rock?
Granite: A durable and dense rock that is resistant to water absorption due to its low porosity. Basalt: A fine-grained volcanic rock with low porosity that is commonly used in construction and landscaping. Marble: A metamorphic rock that is often polished and used in countertops and sculptures due to its non-porous nature.
Which rock is an example of a non-foliated metamorphic rock?
Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
Is metabasalt a metamorphic rock?
Yes it is. It is a NON-FOLIATED version of a metamorphic rock
What is non porous rock?
Non-porous rocks are solid materials that do not allow water or other fluids to pass through them due to the absence of interconnected pore spaces. This lack of porosity prevents the storage or movement of fluids within the rock, making them impermeable. Examples of non-porous rocks include granite, basalt, and marble.
Limestone is the parent rock of the non foliated metamorphic rock called?
Limestone is the parent of rock of non foliated metamorphic. This is a very old type of rock.
What are two types of Non-Porous rocks?
Two types of non-porous rocks are quartzite and marble. Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated rock composed of quartz grains, while marble is a metamorphic rock primarily made up of calcite or dolomite crystals. Both rocks have low porosity, meaning they do not absorb water easily.
What type of metamorphic rock is very hard and is originally from sandstone?
Quartzite, a non banded metamorphic rock.
Which is metamorphic rock has a nonfoiled texture?
Limestone is a metamorphic rock. Limestone is also has non-foiled texture.
What Metamorphic rock that don't have layers?
non-foliated.
What is a kind of non-foliated metamorphic rock?
Marble.
