Question

The name is given to the banded metamorphic rock shown is ______________, for which      _______      is a likely parent rock. 

 

  1. basalt, gabbro

b. Slate, phyllite

.c. gneiss, granite

D. schist, graywacke
This image shows a sample of gneiss, a metamorphic rock known for its distinct banding patterns. The rock features alternating light and dark mineral bands, typically formed under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions that lead to the reorganization of minerals. The light bands are generally composed of minerals like quartz and feldspar, while the dark bands are richer in biotite or amphibole. Gneiss is often used in construction due to its strength and decorative appeal. The sample here demonstrates the characteristic foliation, which is a result of its metamorphic processes. **© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.**
