Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks such as marble and quartzite derived their metamorphism more from heat than from directional pressure. Foliations form at right angles to intense directional pressures. Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks like quartzite and marble are mainly single-mineralic in composition, and would therefore not tend to display layering.
Metamorphic rocks can be categorized into two main categories: foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains, while non-foliated metamorphic rocks lack this layered structure.
Metamorphic rocks with a layered or banded look are referred to as foliated.
non-foliated.
Schistose Structure metamorphic rocks are known as foliated metamorphic rock.
Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to alignment of mineral grains, exhibit strong cleavage, and are formed under directed pressure. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a layered structure, show more equidimensional mineral grains, lack cleavage, and are typically formed under contact metamorphism.
Metamorphic rocks can be categorized into two main categories: foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains, while non-foliated metamorphic rocks lack this layered structure.
Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.
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.
Metamorphic rocks with a layered or banded look are referred to as foliated.
Metamorphic rocks with grains arranged randomly are said to be non-foliated. This means they do not have a layered or banded structure like foliated metamorphic rocks. Examples include marble and quartzite.
Foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals, while non-foliated rocks do not exhibit this feature.
non-foliated.

Schistose Structure metamorphic rocks are known as foliated metamorphic rock.
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to alignment of mineral grains, exhibit strong cleavage, and are formed under directed pressure. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a layered structure, show more equidimensional mineral grains, lack cleavage, and are typically formed under contact metamorphism.
"Foliated" rocks are usually metamorphic rocks like phyllite, slate, schist, and gneiss.
