@KamiBug is correct. However, I am willing to help despite that. [: http://geology.com/rocks/metamorphic-rocks.shtml There are two basic types of metamorphic rocks: 1) foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist and slate which have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure; and, 2) non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as marble and quartzite which do not have a layered or banded appearance. Good luck ^^!
