How do you classify metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are classified as being foliated or being non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have visible banding or sheet-like layering. Slate, phyllite, gneiss, and schist are foliated metamorphic rocks. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not display banding or layering. Marble and quartzite are non-foliated metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as either regional metamorphic rocks or contact metamorphic rocks, depending on their method of formation.
What is the term for a type of foliated metamorphic rock?

Is slate a foliated metamorphic rock?
Yes, slate is a foliated metamorphic rock formed from the sedimentary rock shale.
What refers to how much the metamorphic rock differs from parent rock?
Metamorphic grade refers to the degree of metamorphic change a rock has undergone compared to its parent rock. It encompasses changes in mineralogy, texture, and structure that occur during the metamorphic process.
How metamorphic rock classified?
Based on texture, metamorphic rock can be classified as foliated or non-foliated:1. Foliated metamorphic rock such as gneiss display banding and regrouping of its mineral constituents as a result of enormous pressures and heat. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of pressure. The pressure is usually related to tectonic plate collisions. Schist is another type of foliated rock that exhibits thin layering of micaceous minerals, once again due to pressure and heat. The difference between these two types of foliated rock lies in the rock from which they were derived.2. Non-foliated metamorphic rock such as quartzite and marble do not display the banding or layering that are present in foliated rocks. This is because their parent rock was usually sedimentary and more pure in mineral composition than the parent rocks of foliated rocks.Metamorphic rock can also be classified as regional (from broad processes such as plate tectonics) or contact (from proximity to an invading heat source).Metamorphic rock is further classified by degree of metamorphism, as increases in heat and pressure can further metamorphose a rock. The degree is expressed in terms of grade: low grade, medium grade, high grade. As an example, the metamorphic rock slate (low grade) can metamorphose to schist (medium grade) and then to gneiss (high grade).
Is slate a foliated of non foliated rock?
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.

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.
