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 property distinguishes foliated metamorphic rock such as gneiss and schist from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
A banded texture
Texture term for metamorphic rock which lack banding?
The Texture term for metamorphic rock which are not banded or layered is non-foliated metamorphic rock. Good examples are marble and quartzite.
What is a metamorphic rock that has definite layers?
A metamorphic rock with definite layers is called a foliated rock. Examples include slate, schist, and gneiss, which form due to intense pressure and heat causing minerals to align in distinct layers. Foliated rocks often have a banded appearance due to this layered structure.
What is the term for a type of foliated metamorphic rock?
Schistose Structure metamorphic rocks are known as foliated metamorphic rock.

What type of rock can be either foilated or non-foliated?
Metamorphic rock can be either foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have layered or banded textures, while non-foliated metamorphic rocks lack these layers and have a more uniform appearance. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include schist and gneiss, while examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks include marble and quartzite.

When a metamorphic rock exhibits a layered or banded appearance it is said to exhibit what type of texture?
When a metamorphic rock exhibits a layered or banded appearance, it is said to exhibit foliated texture. This texture is a result of the alignment of mineral grains or the presence of alternating light and dark layers. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include gneiss and schist.
What Metamorphic rock layers?
Layered metamorphic rock is one that has a foliated or banded appearance due to exposure to heat and directed pressure. Examples: phyllite and slate.
Is phyllite foliated or unfoliated?
Phyllite is 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.
