Yes, silicate minerals can form non-foliated metamorphic rocks. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks, such as marble and quartzite, are typically composed of silicate minerals and do not exhibit a layered or banded appearance. Instead, they have a more uniform texture due to the recrystallization of minerals under heat and pressure. While not all silicate minerals result in non-foliated rocks, many do when subjected to specific metamorphic conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Which metamorphic rock had a nonfoliated texture?
Quartzite
Which is a characteristic of all nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Lack of banding
Which type of nonfoliated metamorphic rock is granular and made of quartz?
Quartzite is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock that is granular and composed mainly of quartz. It forms from the metamorphism of quartz-rich sandstone.
Nonfoliated metamorphic rock definition?
Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are formed around igneous intrusions where the temperatures are high but the pressures are relatively low and equal in all directions (confining pressure).
What property distinguishes foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
a banded texture
Which metamorphic rock had a nonfoliated texture?
Quartzite
Metamorphic rocks that are nonfoliated?
Usually have a rougher texture
What is nonfoliated texture?
Metamorphic rocks that do not exhibit foliation.
Is slate foliated or nonfoliated?
Slate is a foliated metamorphic rock.

What are three examples of nonfoliated metamorphic rock?
Quartzite, Marble, and Soapstone are three examples of nonfoliated rock.
A classification of metamorphic rocks would inculde whether they are?
