Some examples of non foliated metamorphic rocks include quartzite marble amphibolite and hornfels.
Is marble a foliated or nonfoliated rock.
Generally metamorphic rock and the metamorphic processes can be divided into three categories.
Some non foliated rocks include marble amphibolite and quartzite.
Some common types of metamorphic rocks that can be found in these two categories are.
Some examples of foliated rocks include slate phyllite schist and gneiss.
Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss phyllite schist and slate have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure.
The minerals in the rock are aligned and look platey or banded according to how pressure was applied to the rock during that phase.
Non foliated metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed by heat and pressure into rocks with a non layered or banded appearance.
Regional contact and cataclastic.
Examples of nonfoliated rocks include anthracite coal hornfels.
Foliated metamorphic rocks which have layers and banding and non foliated metamorphic rocks which do not.
Amphibolite can be either foliated or nonfoliated.
