The type of metamorphic rock would be classified as a nonfoliated metamorphic rock, like quartzite and marble.
Yes, a metamorphic rock with no banding is classified as a nonfoliated rock. Nonfoliated rocks do not exhibit the layering or banding commonly seen in foliated rocks due to the recrystallization process they undergo during metamorphism.
The Texture term for metamorphic rock which are not banded or layered is non-foliated metamorphic rock. Good examples are marble and quartzite.
Marble is a metamorphic rock.
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock of variable composition with distinct banded layers. The layers or banding are called foliations, the result of the alignment of mineral grains in a direction perpendicular to the direction of pressure being exerted on the rock.
Yes, metamorphic rock that lacks banding is referred to as non-foliated. Unlike foliated metamorphic rocks, which have distinct layers or bands due to the alignment of minerals under pressure, non-foliated rocks have a more uniform texture. Common examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks include marble and quartzite. These rocks typically form under conditions of high temperature and pressure without significant directional stress.
Metamorphic rock displaying banding is referred to as foliated metamorphic rock.
No banding or alignment of a metamorphic rock's minerals would be consider non-foliated.
Metamorphic rock with mineral grains arranaged in bands or lamellar planes are called foliated metamorphic rocks.
Yes, a metamorphic rock with no banding is classified as a nonfoliated rock. Nonfoliated rocks do not exhibit the layering or banding commonly seen in foliated rocks due to the recrystallization process they undergo during metamorphism.
The Texture term for metamorphic rock which are not banded or layered is non-foliated metamorphic rock. Good examples are marble and quartzite.
Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
A type of rock with fine banding is known as foliated rock, which includes metamorphic rocks like slate, phyllite, and schist. These rocks have distinct layered structures due to the alignment of minerals during the rock's formation under extreme heat and pressure. The banding in foliated rocks can range from fine to coarse, depending on the intensity of the metamorphic processes.
Any rock, be it igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic, can be changed into a metamorphic rock through increased pressure and/or temperature.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks.
Gneiss shows such banding. Alternating bands are known to Geologists as Gneissose Banding, and is used to instantly classify the metamorphic rock.

Schist is a metamorphic rock.
