A metamorphic rock with visible layers or bands is said to be what?
A metamorphic rock with visible layers or bands is said to be foliated. The layers are due to the alignment of minerals or the presence of alternating light and dark bands. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
Is there limestone in the Grand Canyon?
Yes, there is limestone in the Grand Canyon. It is primarily found in the form of the Redwall Limestone layer, which is one of the prominent rock layers in the canyon.
Is limestone a foliated rock?
No. Foliation is a word used to describe metamorphic rocks that have undergone deformation which has caused an alignment of their crystals. Foliated rocks often appear to have "bands" of minerals. To find out more and to see a picture of a foliated rock - in this case a Gneiss, please see the related link.
What are the layers or bands on a rock called?
Strata (singular = stratum).
What can organic sedimentary rock formed from layers of bones and shells form?
Limestone
How are slate and marble different?
Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
What layers of type of rock can be found at grand canyon?
Probably Kaibab limestone, Coconino sandstone, Hermit shale, Redwall limestone, Muav limestone, Vishnu Schist, and other layers.
What type of rock has distinct bands?
Sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and limestone often exhibit distinct bands or layers due to the deposition of sediments over time. Metamorphic rocks like gneiss and schist can also display banding as a result of intense heat and pressure causing minerals to align in layers.
What rocks is formed in layers?
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
A metamorphic rock with visible layers or bands is said to be what?
A metamorphic rock with visible layers or bands is said to be foliated. The layers are due to the alignment of minerals or the presence of alternating light and dark bands. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
Where did a limestone rock come from?
Limestone is formed by the skeletal remains of countless minute sea creatures that died in the ancient past and formed layers on the sea floor. Given a very long time and immense pressure, the skeletal layers became solid limestone rock. Due to the earth's many upheavals, these limestone rock layers were often brought to the surface and formed part of the solid crust on which we live.
Is there limestone in the Grand Canyon?
Yes, there is limestone in the Grand Canyon. It is primarily found in the form of the Redwall Limestone layer, which is one of the prominent rock layers in the canyon.
Is limestone a metallic element?
No, limestone is not a metallic element. It is a sedimentary rock mainly composed of calcite and aragonite minerals. Metals are elements that have properties like conductivity and luster, which limestone does not possess.
Is limestone a foliated rock?

What rock has stripes or layers in it?
Sedimentary rocks like sandstone or limestone often have visible layers or stripes called strata. These layers form over time as sediment is deposited and compacted, creating distinct bands of different colors or textures.
Does nonfoliated rock have distinct layers of bands?
I dov't know
What is the description of foliated?
A rock with minerals aligned into bands or layers.
