What type of grains does metamorphic rock have?
Metamorphic rocks can have various types of minerals, such as quartz, feldspar, mica, and amphibole, which form grains within the rock. These grains can be elongated or flattened, depending on the degree of metamorphism the rock has undergone. The size, shape, and alignment of these grains provide valuable information about the rock's history and the conditions under which it formed.
When a mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has a?
no texture
If you found a rock with flat mineral grains which rock would it be?
It is likely a type of metamorphic rock, such as schist or gneiss, which form under high temperature and pressure conditions leading to the alignment of mineral grains into flat layers.
Different types of metamorphic are distinguished by the?
arrangement of mineral grains within the rock
What is a type of metamorphic rock in which mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers?
schist

What kind of metamorphic rock has its mineral grains arranged in planes of bands?
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
What is a rock with long flat mineral grains?
A rock with long flat mineral grains is likely to be schist. Schist is a metamorphic rock characterized by its foliated texture, with mineral grains aligned in a parallel fashion, giving it a distinct layered appearance.

When mineral grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rock has a?
A schistose texture.
