Metamorphic Textures

Description

This video focuses on the conditions necessary to form foliated and non-foliated metamorphic textures. Samples of any rock type recrystallized, show mineral alignment, or both to form the textures previously mentioned. Marble is an example of a non-foliated rock and gneiss is an example of a foliated rock. A sample question is included at the end.
