  1. foliated

    Foliated refers to a characteristic of metamorphic rocks that have been subjected to heat and pressure, causing them to form thin, flat layers or bands. The minerals within the rock have been rearranged to create a texture appearance similar to pages in a book. This can happen in various ways, such as through recrystallization or the realignment of minerals. Examples of foliated rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
