What else can I help you with?
Do non-foliated metamorphic rocks contain bands of crystals?
All rocks except volcanic or tectonic glasses have crystals. Therefore all metamorphic rocks have crystals, however in lower metamorphic environments these crystals may remain microscopically small.
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 do the crystals in metamorphic rocks look like?
they are put together and squated
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a texture.?
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
Can a rock that is changed by metamorphism have crystals in parallel layers?
Yes, rocks that undergo metamorphism, especially foliated metamorphic rocks like schist and gneiss, can exhibit crystals arranged in parallel layers. This alignment is often a result of the directed pressure and temperature conditions during metamorphic processes, causing minerals to grow perpendicular to the direction of pressure, resulting in distinct layering or foliation.
What is metamorphic rock in which mineral crystals are arranged in parallel layers or band?
The metamorphic rock you are referring to is called foliated rock. Foliated rocks have mineral crystals aligned in parallel layers or bands, resulting from the re-alignment of minerals due to pressure and heat during metamorphism. Examples of foliated rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
How are foliated metamorphic rocks different from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.
Do metamorphic rocks contain lectures crystals?
yes
What are crystals igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Crystals can form in all three types of rocks. Igneous rocks, like granite, form from the cooling and solidification of magma. Sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, can contain crystals that formed from precipitation of minerals in water. Metamorphic rocks, like marble, can have crystals that grew under extreme heat and pressure.
Which rock had arranged parallel bands to black and white crystals?
I think its metamorphic
Why do sedimentary and metamorphic rocks have bands of colors?
they have more crystals
Do non-foliated metamorphic rocks contain bands of crystals?
All rocks except volcanic or tectonic glasses have crystals. Therefore all metamorphic rocks have crystals, however in lower metamorphic environments these crystals may remain microscopically small.
Which two of the three rock types appear to be made primarily of intergrown crystals?
Igneous and metamorphic rocks often appear to be made primarily of intergrown crystals due to the process of cooling and solidification for igneous rocks and recrystallization for metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are typically composed of compacted and cemented sediment particles rather than intergrown crystals.
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 metamorphic rocks with grains arranged randomly said to be?
Metamorphic rocks with grains arranged randomly are said to be non-foliated. This means they do not have a layered or banded structure like foliated metamorphic rocks. Examples include marble and quartzite.
What do the crystals in metamorphic rocks look like?
they are put together and squated
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a texture.?
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
