What else can I help you with?
What is rocks with grains arranged in parallel layers called?
Magma that has fallen out a volcano to make sediments through metamorphism.
Rock formations called geodes are filled with layers of crystals. which group of words form the complete predicate?
everything from called to crystals is your predicate.
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.
Why do minerals change composition as they undergo metamorphism?
The minerals in the rock have been realigned into parallel bands in response to pressures exerted on the rock from a particular direction. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of the force.
What is the segregation of light and dark colored minerals into thin layers or bands?
The segregation of light and dark colored minerals into thin layers or bands is known as foliation. This occurs during the process of metamorphism, where the minerals align in parallel layers due to the deformation and recrystallization of the rock under intense pressure and temperature conditions. Foliation gives the rock a banded appearance and can indicate the direction of pressure during its formation.

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 metamorphic has elongated layers?
Regional metamorphism
Rock called geodes are filled with layers of crystals What is the complete predicate?
"are filled with layers of crystals"
What is a type of metamorphic rock that has parallel layers?
Foliated rock has parallel layers.

Why portions of the sedimentary rock layers have the symbol for contact metamorphism?
the rock layers were eroded at the interface between the igneous intrusion and the sedimentary rocks.
Why do minerals change composition as they undergo metamorphism?
The minerals in the rock have been realigned into parallel bands in response to pressures exerted on the rock from a particular direction. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of the force.
Which igneous feature is formed when magma is forced into layers parallel to the surrounding rock layers?
A sill is formed when magma is forced into layers parallel to the surrounding rock layers. Sills are characterized by their tabular shape and are often found intruding between rock layers.
What is it called when the rock layers form parallel to each other?
When rock layers form parallel to each other, it is called stratification. This process occurs when sediments settle and accumulate in horizontal layers over time, resulting in distinct bands or layers of rock.
What is the segregation of light and dark colored minerals into thin layers or bands?
The segregation of light and dark colored minerals into thin layers or bands is known as foliation. This occurs during the process of metamorphism, where the minerals align in parallel layers due to the deformation and recrystallization of the rock under intense pressure and temperature conditions.
