Foliated--those exhibiting layering (gneiss, slate, schists), and non-foliated--without layers (marble, quartzite).

The lithosphere is primarily made up of two types of rocks: igneous and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma, while metamorphic rocks are rocks that have undergone a change in texture and composition due to heat and pressure.
Metamorphic Rocks
The two textures of metamorphic rocks are the Foliate and Non-foliate textures.
Metamorphic rocks are classified into two main groups: foliated and non-foliated. Foliated rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains during metamorphism, while non-foliated rocks lack this layered structure and typically consist of interlocking crystals.
Unakite rocks are metamorphic rocks formed from the alteration of igneous rocks. They are typically composed of pink feldspar, green epidote, and clear quartz.
The three main categories into which geologists classify rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments. Metamorphic rocks are created from the alteration of pre-existing rocks due to high temperature and pressure.
Igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary are the three rock types.
Scientists classify rocks into three main categories - sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic - based on how they are formed. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and solidification of sediments, igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, and metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks through heat and pressure.

The three main categories of rocks are igneous rocks, which form from solidified magma or lava; sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments; and metamorphic rocks, which result from the transformation of existing rocks under high heat and pressure.

Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. Other metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and quartzite. All metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock types.
No. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are three different categories of rock.
The two groups of metamorphic rock are foliated and nonfoliated. Metamorphic rocks can also be classified as contact and regional.
Those are two types of metamorphic rocks. Banded metamorphic rocks are when rocks layer into layers and they look like strips or Bands. Non banded is the opposite of banded
The rock cycle classifies rocks into three main categories: igneous rocks, formed from the solidification of molten rock; sedimentary rocks, formed from the compaction and cementation of sediments; and metamorphic rocks, formed from the alteration of existing rocks through heat and pressure.
