Question

Metamorphic rocks with a non-foliated texture show metamorphic change that involves ____.

Answer 1

Answer:

b.  growth in the size of the mineral grains

Explanation:

Non-foliated texture shown by a metamorphic change is depicted by growth in the size of the mineral grains.

• Examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks are quartzite and marble.
• In these metamorphic rocks, mineral grains are not aligned with their long axis.
• Non-foliated texture occurs under high temperature and low pressure conditions.
• As minerals are able to grow, the size can be used to show a metamorphic change.
