What is a foiliated metamorphic rock?
A foliated metamorphic rock is a rock that has a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals in parallel planes. This alignment is typically a result of the rock being subjected to high pressure and temperature conditions during its formation. Examples include gneiss and schist.
If a metamorphic rock has grains arranged in parallel layers or bands what is the rock probably displaying?
Generically it is displaying a metamorphic fabric, specifically a schistosity. If the fabric is well developed it could also be displaying planes of cleavage.
Can metamorphic rock form out of other metamorphic rock?
No.
How can a rock be transformed into a metamorphic rock?
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
The crystals of many metamorphic rocks are aligned in bands as a result of?
the application of pressure and heat during the rock's formation. This causes the minerals within the rock to reorganize and align themselves in parallel bands. The direction of the pressure determines the orientation of the bands in the metamorphic rock.
What is a metamorphic rock in which the grains line up in parallel lines?
crystal
What is a type of metamorphic rock that has parallel layers?
Foliated rock has parallel layers.
What is a folitated rock?
A foliated rock is a type of metamorphic rock created when mineral grains flatten and line up in parallel bands. So in other words is a rock that has parallel lines in it and you are able to see them.
What is a foiliated metamorphic rock?
A foliated metamorphic rock is a rock that has a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals in parallel planes. This alignment is typically a result of the rock being subjected to high pressure and temperature conditions during its formation. Examples include gneiss and schist.
A metamorphic rock in which the grains line up in parallel bands is a?
Gneissic textured rock.
Which rock had arranged parallel bands to black and white crystals?
I think its metamorphic
A metamorphic rock that has grains arranged in parallel layers has a what texture?
It has a foliated texture.
What is a metamorphic rock that has parallel alignment of mineral grains?
Schist is a metamorphic rock that exhibits parallel alignment of mineral grains, giving it a foliated appearance. This alignment is typically a result of regional metamorphism where intense pressure and temperature conditions cause the minerals to recrystallize in a preferred orientation.
What type of metamorphic rock is composed of mineral grains arranged in parallel layers?
Foliated.
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.
What is the parallel alignment of platy grains in a rock called?
The parallel alignment of platy grains in a rock is called foliation. Foliation is commonly seen in metamorphic rocks where minerals align in a preferred orientation due to pressure and temperature changes during deformation.
Is sand stone a sedimentary a metamorphic or a igneous rock?
sandstone is a sedimentary rock because of the layers or lines you can see on it
