The 15 pages that link to Foliation, each with the reason it gives.

• MetamorphismRelated: Directed stress during metamorphism can organize minerals into planar fabric.

• Metamorphic rockRelated: Many metamorphic rocks acquire planar fabrics as minerals deform or realign.

• MarbleCompared with: Unlike foliated rocks, most marble lacks a strong planar fabric.

• Metamorphic gradeRelated: Foliation records deformation that may accompany changing metamorphic conditions.

• GneissRelated: Gneissic banding is a coarse form of metamorphic layering, distinct from finer foliations.

• Strike and dipRelated: Foliation surfaces can be measured and mapped like bedding planes.

• SchistNarrower topic: Schist’s defining texture is a particularly pronounced form of foliation.

• QuartziteCompared with: Quartzite commonly lacks the strong planar fabric seen in many foliated metamorphic rocks.

• MigmatiteRelated: Foliation in the solid framework may continue through or be disrupted by migmatite layers.

• MyloniteNarrower topic: Mylonite commonly develops a strong planar fabric during shearing.

• GreenschistNarrower topic: Greenschist's aligned minerals create its characteristic foliated texture.

• HornfelsCompared with: Hornfels is generally nonfoliated, unlike metamorphic rocks with aligned layers.

• PhylliteNarrower topic: Phyllite’s wavy cleavage is a foliation shaped by directed pressure.

• BoudinageRelated: Boudinage commonly affects layers within a foliated metamorphic rock.

• TectoniteRelated: Planar mineral alignment is a common tectonite fabric.
