What else can I help you with?
Metamorphic rock that show layers of dark minerals alternatin with layers of light minerals are classified as?
Foliated is the correct answer!!!
What causes the different colors in sedimentary rock?
Minerals cause the layers - each mineral has a certain color (and hardness).
What is the texture of gneiss?
Gneiss has a foliated texture, meaning it has visible layers or bands of different minerals. These layers are typically arranged in a repetitive pattern, giving gneiss a distinct texture that can vary in appearance depending on the type of minerals present.
Why do the layers of the earth contain different minerals?
The layers of the Earth contain different minerals due to variations in temperature, pressure, and chemical composition as you move from the surface to the core. The crust is rich in lighter, silicate minerals, while the mantle contains denser, magnesium and iron-rich minerals. The outer core is largely composed of molten iron and nickel, and the inner core consists of solid iron and nickel due to extreme pressures. These differences reflect the processes of differentiation and the conditions present during the Earth's formation and evolution.
What breaks layers because of cleavage?
Cleavage breaks the layers of rock due to poor distribution of minerals within the rocks. The impact of breakage will depend on the types of minerals that are present.
What is consisting of layers of different minerals?
foliated
Consisting of layers of different minerals is?
foliated
What is gneiss made out of?
well I searched and found no exact answer that would help for my science homework, but I have found results close to this. I think it is either foliated rock, or consisting of layers of different minerals.

How are earths layers different?
The Earth's layers differ in composition, density, and physical properties. The outermost layer is the crust, which is solid and relatively thin compared to the other layers. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is mostly solid but can flow slowly over long periods of time. At the center is the core, consisting of a liquid outer core and a solid inner core, with the inner core being the hottest and densest part of the Earth.
How many different groups of crystal structure are there in minerals?
There are about four different groups of crystals structures that are available in the minerals. The four have different orientations of the close-packed layers.
Rocks consisting of a mixture of minerals?
aggregates

What is the name of rocks consisting of mixtures of minerals?
Nearly all rock consists of mixtures of minerals.
