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.


What is a type of metamorphic rock that has parallel layers?

Foliated rock has parallel layers.


What is the difference between a foliated a non-foliated metamorphic rock?

The Process. Both foliated and nonfoliated rocks begin their lives as either sedimentary, igneous or another metamorphic rock. Type of Pressure. If the pressure applied to the recrystallizing rock is unequal, then a foliated rock will form.


A type of metamorphic rock in which mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers?

Non-foliated metamorphic rock, such as marble or quartzite, is characterized by the absence of visible layering or banding. The mineral grains in these rocks recrystallize and grow in a uniform manner, without forming distinct layers like in foliated rocks. This type of metamorphism typically occurs under conditions of high pressure and temperature without the presence of directed stress.

What type of metamorphic texture has no banding?

On on what basis can metamorphic rocks be identified?

Metamorphic rocks can be identified if the rock is foliated or nonfoliated, foliating type, type of metamorphism (contact/regional), and by probable original rock. :)
