Chapter 25, Problem 12TE
How is foliation different from sediment layering?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The difference between foliation and sediment layering.
Answer to Problem 12TE
Foliation is formed in the metamorphic rocks, whereas sediment layering occurs in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Explanation of Solution
The difference between foliation and sediment layering is given in the table below:
| Foliation | Sediment layering | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | It is formed in metamorphic rocks. | It is sedimentary rocks. |
| 2 | Foliation is a layered appearance that occurs when rocks are under high pressure. | When these suspended sediments flow with air, water, or ice from one place to another, they get deposited. They are deposited in layers horizontally. This is known as sediment layering. |
| 3 | Foliation is developed due to pressure and temperature | Sediment layering is due to the erosion of suspended particles. |
| 4 | Foliation occurs when minerals readjust into parallel planes. | Sediment layering occurs due to the compaction of sediments. |
Conclusion:
Therefore, foliation is formed in the metamorphic rocks whereas sediment layering occurs in formation of sedimentary rocks.

- Your neighbor designs automobiles for a living. You are fascinated with her work. She is designing a new automobile and needs to determine how strong the front suspension should be. She knows of your fascination with her work and your expertise in physics, so she asks you to determine how large the normal force on the front wheels of her design automobile could become under a hard stop, ma when the wheels are locked and the automobile is skidding on the road. She gives you the following information. The mass of the automobile is m₂ = 1.10 × 103 kg and it can carry five passengers of average mass m = 80.0 kg. The front and rear wheels are separated by d = 4.45 m. The center of mass of the car carrying five passengers is dCM = 2.25 m behind the front wheels and hcm = 0.630 m above the roadway.
