How are metamorphic rocks determined.
Some examples of non foliated metamorphic rocks include quartzite marble amphibolite and hornfels.
These are igneous rocks that are composed of olivine and pyroxene peridotite pyroxenite serpentine group minerals occur less commonly in some olivine bearing marbles ophicalcite.
Thanks in advance i just need to know if these rocks are foliated or mon foliated the answers i need most are 3 4 6 12 1.
Serpentine group minerals antigorite lizardite and chrysotile are produced by the hydrous alteration of ultramafic rocks.
The pressure applied to the reforming rock causes the differences in the way the rock looks once recrystallized and determines whether it will be foliated or nonfoliated.
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.
Serpentinite is nonfoliated and composed mainly of the mineral serpentine.
Sandstone and chert are the common parent rock.
The purity of the marble will depend on the purity of the limestone.
Marble is composed of either calcite or dolomite and usually derived from limestone.
Is marble foliated or nonfoliated.
Non foliated metamorphic rocks such as hornfels marble quartzite and novaculite do not have a layered or banded appearance.
May be harder than glass in places.
Serpentinite is a metamorphic rock that is mostly composed of serpentine group minerals.
