Nonfoliated metamorphic rock would be:
- Quartzite - composed of the mineral quartz; metamorphosed sandstone
- Marble - composed of the mineral calcite; metamorphosed limestone

Gneiss and slate are both metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed through the alteration of existing rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions.

Name three metamorphic rocks?
gneiss, schist, slate
What is a common parent rock for slate and gneiss?
Shale is a common parent rock for both slate and gneiss. Slate forms from the metamorphism of fine-grained sedimentary rocks like shale, while gneiss forms from the metamorphism of various rock types including shale.
10 examples of metamorphic rocks?
- Amphibolite - Eclogite - Gneiss - Greenstone - Hornfels - Marble - Migmatite - Phyllite - Quartzite (Metaquartzite) - Schist - Slate - Soapstone
What metamorphic rocks are found in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania is home to quartzite, slate, marble, phyllite, gneiss, and schist
The rock type which results from metamorphosed shale is?
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
Is slate and gneiss the same thing?
No, but slate and gneiss are both a type of metamorphic rock. Slate will also turn into Gneiss, eventually, if metamorphosing continues. The series is Shale (sedimentary) >> Slate (metamorphic) >> Phyllite >> Schist >> Gneiss
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is not an example of metamorphic rock; it is a type of sedimentary rock. Marble, gneiss, and slate are examples of metamorphic rocks.
Name four metamorphic rocks?
Four of the metamorphic rocks are gneiss,slate,marble and schist.
What rocks have foliated structure?
"Foliated" rocks are usually metamorphic rocks like phyllite, slate, schist, and gneiss.
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?

In clay is buried very deep within earth it can progress through a series of rocks of increasing metamorphic grade name the rocks in this series?
The series of rocks of increasing metamorphic grade as clay progresses deep within the earth are slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss. Each rock type represents a higher level of metamorphism, with gneiss being the highest grade in this sequence.
What metamorphic rocks are formed from mudstones?
Slate,schist,gneiss are the metamorphic rock formed from mudstone.
What major rock is foliated?
Slate, gneiss, schist. Metamorphic rocks. Just the foliated ones.
Which mineral is commonly found in the three metamorphic rocks slate schist and gneiss?
The mineral commonly found in all three metamorphic rocks slate, schist, and gneiss is mica. Mica is a group of minerals known for their perfect cleavage, flexibility, and mineral composition, which make them prevalent in metamorphic rocks.
