A. schist is fine grained, whereas slate is coarse grained. B. schist is foliated, whereas slate is not foliated. C. sla te is fine grained, whereas schist is coarse grained.
Slate, schist, and gneiss are three common foliated metamorphic rocks. Slate is a hard, fine-grained rock with a well-developed rock cleavage or slaty cleavage caused by the incipient growth of platy (micaceous) minerals, due to metamorphism of fine-grained clastic sediments such as shale and siltstone and also volcanic tuffs.
Foliated metamorphic rocks are formed due to direct exposure to pressure and heat. Most important and largest groupings of metamorphic rocks. Foliated metamorphic rocks have four distinguishable types of aligned textures and normally have a banded or layered appearance . Examples are slate, gneiss, phyllite, and schist.
