Metamorphic Rocks are Sedimentary, Igneous, and rocks that have changed form from a rock previously existing. Metamorphic rocks form when the heat from the earth, and the pressure become so big, it changes the rocks Colors, textures, and other properties. What are Foliated Metamorphic Rocks? Foliated Metamorphic Rocks are rocks that are layered, as if they were forced together. Foliated metamorphic rocks look layered, as if they were forced together. They form when layers of existing rock such as shale get buried under sediment. What are Non-Foliated Metamorphic Rocks? Non Foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a sheet-like appearance because the minerals that make up the pre-existing rocks do not align under pressure like the Foliated rocks do.
