Chapter 25, Problem 20RQ
Distinguish between foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The difference between foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks.
Answer to Problem 20RQ
The foliated rocks have a layered appearance, whereas nonfoliated metamorphic rocks have a uniform appearance.
Explanation of Solution
The difference between foliation rocks and Nonfoliated rocks are shown below:
| Foliation rocks | Nonfoliated rocks | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Foliation rocks have a layered appearance which occurs when rocks are under high pressure. | Nonfoliated rocks show uniform appearance. |
| 2 | Foliation is developed due to high pressure and temperature both.Both are necessary | Nonfoliated rocks can form either due to high pressure or high temperature. |
| 3 | Examples are granite, quartz and feldspar. | Examples are marble and quartzite. |
Conclusion:
Therefore, the foliated rocks have a layered appearance whereas nonfoliated metamorphic rocks have a uniform appearance.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion?
