The foliated texture of the rock (as exhibited by the banding of different colored minerals) provides evidence for the orientation of the maximum differential stress involved in its metamorphism. For this model, what is the direction of the maximum differential stress placed on the rock? a. Along a direction at 45° to the orientation of the mineral layers b. Along a direction roughly parallel to the orientation of the mineral layers c. Equally in all directions d. Along a direction from the top to the bottom

What is foliated texture?

A foliated texture is known to be a kind of texture that is caused as a result of  pressure. Mineral grains that are found form pre-existing rocks are known to be in an oriented that is parallel to each other.

They are often seen or organized into a kind of distinctive bands in the the metamorphosis stage. The Examples of foliated textures includes de slaty, phyllitic, and others.
