What term is used to describe metamorphic rocks with a banded texture?
The two main groups of metamorphic rocks are foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks show layering and parallel alignment of flat mineral crystals (ex. micas). The "banded texture in metamorphic rocks" is one of the specific kinds of foliated textures. It is referred to as gneissic banding. Essentially, this texture displays alternating layers of light and dark minerals. These rocks are called gneiss- the light bands form from quartz and feldspars, while the dark ones form from ferromagnesian minerals.
How is the rock medimorfic rock formed?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when heat and presser shape an old rock into a new rock
Can an igneous rock like granite be formed into a metamorphic rock like gneiss?
Heat And Pressure
When was Blue-banded Pitta created?

Is gneiss a metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?

When metamorphic rock has banded texture with minerals grains that are arranged in layers it is called?
Metamorphic rocks with a layered or banded look are referred to as foliated.
What type of metamorphic rock is very hard and is originally from sandstone?
Quartzite, a non banded metamorphic rock.
What word describes a coarse grained banded metamorphic rock?
Gneiss, pronounced 'nice', is a coarse grained banded metamorphic rock.
Is metamorphic rock banded and foliated?
Metamorphic rock can be banded and foliated. Banded metamorphic rock has visible layers or bands of different mineral compositions, while foliated metamorphic rock has a layered or sheet-like appearance due to the alignment of minerals. These patterns are a result of the intense heat and pressure the rock undergoes during metamorphism.
Like a coarse-grained banded metamorphic rock?
Please.
What is a name of metamorphic rock that have a banded or striped appearance?
MARBLE
Metamorphic rock with a banded appearance due to the alignment of material are?
No
What type of rocks are banded or non banded?
Well, friend, banded rocks are often made up of layers of different materials, like sedimentary rocks such as sandstone or shale. Non-banded rocks, on the other hand, can include igneous rocks like granite or basalt, which are formed from cooled magma without distinct layers. Both types of rocks have their own unique beauty and story to tell in the great tapestry of the Earth.
Is Gneiss a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of pre-existing rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions. It is characterized by its banded texture and coarser grain size compared to other types of metamorphic rocks.
What property distinguishes foliated metamorphic rock such as gneiss and schist from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
A banded texture
Texture term for metamorphic rock which lack banding?
The Texture term for metamorphic rock which are not banded or layered is non-foliated metamorphic rock. Good examples are marble and quartzite.
