Metamorphic rocks typically do not form in distinct layers like sedimentary rocks. Instead, they often exhibit a foliated or non-foliated texture due to the alignment of minerals under pressure and temperature changes. Foliated metamorphic rocks, such as schist or slate, may show a banded appearance, but this is a result of mineral alignment rather than layering. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks, like marble, lack any such banding and do not display layering.

What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
How does a foliated metamorphic rock form?
Foliated metamorphic rocks form through directed pressure and heat acting on existing rocks, causing minerals to align in a preferred orientation. This alignment creates distinct layers or bands within the rock, giving it a foliated texture. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include schist, gneiss, and slate.
Type of Rock forms in layers?
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
How do metamorphic rocks form from metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary rocks form from layers of sand, silt or clay, sometimes mixed with pebbles, and the bodies of living things (that may the be fossilised) The rocks are often quite soft. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks (usually sedimentary rocks) are subjected to extreme heat and/or pressure, usually deep underground. The rocks are changed in form, often becoming harder. Fossils are usually destroyed by the process.
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
