The classes of metamorphic rocks include foliated rocks, which have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals, and non-foliated rocks, which lack a layered structure. Foliated rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss, while non-foliated rocks include marble and quartzite.

You can group rocks based on their physical characteristics such as color, texture, density, and mineral composition. You can also classify them based on how they were formed, such as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks. Grouping rocks in this way can help make identifying them easier by narrowing down their potential characteristics and origins.
Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks lack a layered or banded structure, making them harder to classify compared to foliated rocks. Understanding the mineral composition, texture, and the geological processes involved in their formation is essential for accurately identifying and classifying nonfoliated metamorphic rocks. This information helps geologists interpret the conditions under which the rocks formed and provides insights into the geological history of the area.

Geologists classify metamorphic rocks by the arrangements of the grains that make up the rocks.

we classify the objects on the basis of certain characteristics favorable for us. we use different characteristics to classify the different types of the objects into groups.
Scientists classify rocks based on their mineral composition, texture, and origin. Mineral composition refers to the types and relative amounts of minerals present in the rock. Texture relates to the size and arrangement of the mineral grains, while origin refers to how the rock was formed (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic).
