Theyare also located in the cores of mountains and buried beneathsedimentary rocks on the continents.Metamorphic TexturesDuring metamorphism, new minerals often form and/or exist-ing minerals grow larger as the intensity of metamorphismincreases. Frequently, mineral crystals that are elongated(such as hornblende) or have a sheet structure (for example,the micas-biotite and muscovite) become oriented perpen-dicular to compressional forces. The resulting parallel, linearalignment of mineral crystals is called foliation (Figure 2.18).Foliation is associated with many metamorphic rocks andgives them a layered or banded appearance.Figure 2.18 Under directed pressure, linear or platy miner-als, such as the micas, become reoriented or recrystallized sothat their surfaces are aligned at right angles to the stress. Theresulting planar orientation of mineral grains is called foliation.
