A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
What else can I help you with?
A foliated metamorphic rock when crystals?
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals what?
Foliated metamorphic rocks exhibit a layering affect with parallel layers of mineral crystals one on top of the other. A good example of this is gneiss, which has alternating layers of light and dark minerals. Foliation takes place when pressure is applied to crystals and they recrystallize or align themselves at right angles to the direction of the applied directional stress.
Which metamorphic rock will have visible mica crystals and a foliated texture?
quartzite
In a metamorphic rock the alignment of the crystals or minerals determines whether the rock is?
Foliated or nonfilated
What type of rock forms when crystals combine and form with visible bands?
The type of rock that forms when crystals combine and create visible bands is called metamorphic rock, specifically a foliated metamorphic rock. An example of this is gneiss, which features alternating layers of different mineral compositions. The banding occurs due to the alignment of mineral grains under pressure and temperature conditions.

What is metamorphic rock in which mineral crystals are arranged in parallel layers or band?
The metamorphic rock you are referring to is called foliated rock. Foliated rocks have mineral crystals aligned in parallel layers or bands, resulting from the re-alignment of minerals due to pressure and heat during metamorphism. Examples of foliated rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.

What is the term for a type of foliated metamorphic rock?
Schistose Structure metamorphic rocks are known as foliated metamorphic rock.
Which rock is an example of a non-foliated metamorphic rock?
Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
Is slate a foliated metamorphic rock?
Yes, slate is a foliated metamorphic rock formed from the sedimentary rock shale.
Is slate a foliated of non foliated rock?
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
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.
Do non-foliated metamorphic rocks contain bands of crystals?
All rocks except volcanic or tectonic glasses have crystals. Therefore all metamorphic rocks have crystals, however in lower metamorphic environments these crystals may remain microscopically small.
