Question 13 • Skelton - GSN - Earth Science - SC3207 IC

Which type of metamorphic rock has randomly arranged grains and does not split into layers?

Answer
A
foliated
B
banded
C
massive
D
non-foliated

Explanation

Non-foliated metamorphic rocks have grains arranged without a distinct layered or aligned pattern, so they do not split into layers. Foliated rocks have minerals arranged in parallel layers or bands; “massive” is not the term for this texture here. The correct choice is non-foliated.
