A characteristic of all non-foliated metamorphic rocks is that they lack a layered or banded appearance, which distinguishes them from foliated metamorphic rocks. Instead, non-foliated rocks typically have a more uniform texture and are composed of interlocking mineral grains. Common examples include marble, formed from limestone, and quartzite, formed from sandstone. These rocks are often formed under conditions of high temperature and pressure but without significant differential stress.
What else can I help you with?
Which is a characteristic of all nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Lack of banding
Can all rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
no
Do all metamorphic rocks show foliation?
No. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks include quartzite and marble.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
What rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
Any type of rock can become metamorphic.

Can metamorphic rocks form form other metamorphic rocks?
yes, all rocks can form from all others depending on pressure, etc

What are two examples of Metomorphic rocks?
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and quartzite. All metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock types.
What kind of rocks can produce metamorphic rocks?
All sedimentary and igneous rocks
Slate schist genisis and hornfels are rocks?
They are all metamorphic rocks.
What type of rocks can become metamorphic?
All rock types can be changed through metamorphism.
What are the kinds of solid rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
What phase of matter are metamorphic rocks?
All rocks are in the solid phase of matter.
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rocks but not in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
mountain building
