Answer 1

The correct answers are: grains form in parallel layers

and tend to split apart along bands.

Foliated rock is a type of metamorphic rock with characteristic striped pattern, meaning that its layers are distinct and repetitive. Such layers are formed under the influence of changed pressure (or heat): one layer is formed under the certain pressure, and the next at totally different pressure.
