A metamorphic rock in which the grains line up in parallel bands is known as a foliated metamorphic rock. This alignment occurs due to the intense pressure and heat that cause the minerals to recrystallize and arrange themselves along planes. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include schist and gneiss. The parallel bands give these rocks their distinct layered appearance.
A type of rock that contains bands of crystals is known as banded or agate rock. Banded rocks are formed through a process where different mineral layers create alternating bands of color and composition, resulting in a striped appearance. These bands can be made up of various types of crystals such as quartz, calcite, or jasper.
Gneiss is composed mainly of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Other common minerals found in gneiss include garnet, hornblende, and biotite. The exact mineral composition of gneiss can vary depending on the specific conditions under which it formed.
Yes, parallel bands of dark and light mineral grains are characteristic of certain types of metamorphic rocks, particularly schist and gneiss. This banding, known as foliation, occurs due to the alignment of minerals under directional pressure during metamorphism. The dark bands typically consist of mafic minerals like biotite or hornblende, while the light bands are usually made up of felsic minerals like quartz or feldspar. This texture can provide insights into the geological history and conditions under which the rock formed.
Granite, gneiss, sandstone, and schist. Possibly more than that.

they line up like that because i said to do it

No. Gneiss has foliation in the form of alternating light and dark bands.
Gneiss with wavy or vertical bands has undergone metamorphism known as foliation. This occurs when the minerals in the rock align to create a distinct layering or banding structure due to high pressure and temperature during metamorphism.

A gneiss rock is composed of alternating bands of light and dark silicate minerals, typically formed through high temperature and pressure metamorphism of existing rocks like granite or shale. The light bands are usually composed of quartz and feldspar, while the dark bands are made up of minerals like biotite, amphibole, or pyroxene.
Gneissic textured rock.
The word "granite" comes from the Latin "granum", meaning "grain" in reference to its course granular structure. Granite is normally a light-coloured igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the naked eye. It is formed by the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with smaller amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals found in the area of its origin.

Miss may i, Asking Alexandria, the devil wears prada, oceano and more bands. Joey Sturgis a producer uses pod farm and he produced albums for these bands look him up on wiki you will find a whole list of bands.
