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.
