What else can I help you with?
Metamorphic rocks that show layers of dark minerals alternating with layers of light minerals are classified as?
foliated metamorphic rocks. The alternating layers are caused by the alignment and segregation of minerals during the metamorphic process, resulting in a banded or layered appearance. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and slate.
What are metamorphic rocks with banded layers called?
Gneiss
Metamorphic rocks that do not have distinct layers or bands?
non-foliated.
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.
When rock fragments get compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks they are known as?
metamorphic rocks
What are the Metamorphic Rocks that have no layers and are massively crystalline called?
I dont know dude.
What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
Does metamorphic rock have layers?
Not exactly. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which can appear similar to the layers of sedimentary rock. Foliation develops from mineral grains being oriented by pressure, rather than the deposition of layers.
