What else can I help you with?
Is it true or false that the texture of a sedimentary rock that does not have minerals arranged in bands is described as nonfoliated?
False. The terms folidated and nonfoliated apply to metamorphic rocks.
A foliated metamorphic rock when crystals?
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
Contrast foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foaliated rock can form in one or two ways. Extreme pressure may cause the mineral crystals in the rock to realign or regrow to form parallel bands. Foaliation also occurs as minerals that have different compositions separate to produce a series of alternation dark and light bands. Most nonfoliated metamorphic rocks share at least one or two main characteristics. First, the original rock that is metamorphosed may contain grains of only one mineral or contains very small amounts of other minerals.

A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
Is a metamorphic rock with no banding a nonfoliated rock?
Yes, a metamorphic rock with no banding is classified as a nonfoliated rock. Nonfoliated rocks do not exhibit the layering or banding commonly seen in foliated rocks due to the recrystallization process they undergo during metamorphism.

Why do sedimentary and metamorphic rocks have bands of colors?
they have more crystals

Which rock had arranged parallel bands to black and white crystals?
I think its metamorphic
The crystals of many metamorphic rocks are aligned in bands as a result of?
the application of pressure and heat during the rock's formation. This causes the minerals within the rock to reorganize and align themselves in parallel bands. The direction of the pressure determines the orientation of the bands in the metamorphic rock.
What type of rock contains bands of crystals?
A type of rock that contains bands of crystals is known as banded or agate rock. Banded rocks are formed through a process where different mineral layers create alternating bands of color and composition, resulting in a striped appearance. These bands can be made up of various types of crystals such as quartz, calcite, or jasper.
Does nonfoliated rock have distinct layers of bands?
I dov't know
Metamorphic rocks that do not have distinct layers or bands?
non-foliated.
What is the difference between foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliation is a geologic term that is used to describe the banded or layered appearance of metamorphic rocks.Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss display banding and regrouping of its mineral constituents as a result of enormous pressures and heat. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of pressure. The pressure is usually related to tectonic plate collisions. Schist is another type of foliated rock that exhibits thin layering of micaceous minerals, once again due to pressure and heat. The difference between these two foliated rocks lies in the rock from which they were derived (protolith) and their degree of metamorphism.Non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as quartzite and marble do not display the banding or layering that are present in foliated rocks. This may be partially due to the high relative percentage of one individual mineral in the parent rock, as well as to the metamorphic variables of heat and pressure.'Foliated' is a term used to describe metamorphic rocks whose grains are arranged in parallel layers.
