What are metamorphic rocks with banded layers called?
Gneiss
Metamorphic rocks that show layers of dark minerals alternating with layers of light minerals are classified as?
foliated metamorphic rocks. The alternating layers are caused by the alignment and segregation of minerals during the metamorphic process, resulting in a banded or layered appearance. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and slate.
Metamorphic rocks that do not have distinct layers or bands?
non-foliated.
When rock fragments get compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks they are known as?
metamorphic rocks
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.
What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
Does metamorphic rock have layers?
Not exactly. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which can appear similar to the layers of sedimentary rock. Foliation develops from mineral grains being oriented by pressure, rather than the deposition of layers.

What metamorphic rocks that don't have layers?
non-foliated.

How many layers do metamorphic layers have?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that has been changed from one rock to another by heat and/or pressure.....they amount of layers would depend on what kind of rock.....all rocks have a different amount of layers sorry
