No. Foliation is a term that applies to metamorphic rocks. Andesite is igneous.
Andesite is typically classified as an igneous rock, specifically a volcanic rock, and is not categorized as either foliated or nonfoliated since those terms primarily apply to metamorphic rocks. Foliation refers to the alignment of mineral grains under pressure, which is not relevant to andesite. Instead, andesite has a fine-grained texture and can contain a mix of minerals, but it lacks the layered or banded appearance characteristic of foliated rocks.
The texture of Andesite rock is fine-grained and it Extrusive plus it is an igneous rock .
Quartzite, marble, and metabasalt are non-foliated metamorphic rocks..................................... i like dots
Schistose Structure metamorphic rocks are known as foliated metamorphic rock.
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
Andesite is a nonfoliated rock, meaning it does not have a layered or banded appearance like foliated rocks such as slate or schist. Andesite forms from volcanic activity and solidifies without undergoing the intense pressure and heat required for foliation to occur.

The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
No. Andesite is a volcanic rock.
foliated
No. Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock.
The texture of Andesite rock is fine-grained and it Extrusive plus it is an igneous rock .
Rock salt is not foliated.
Yes. Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock.
The composition of the rock will determine whether it is a rhyolite or an andesite.
The type of rock that can be foliated and/or non-foliated is the Igneous rock.
Yes. A foliated metamorphic rock could have an igneous rock as a protolith.
