The study of rocks is called petrology.

The correct answer is Schistosity

Foliation is dominantly found in Metamorphic rocks and is said to be the parallel alignment of textural and structural features of rocks. Differential stress is one major factor that contributes to the texture of metamorphic rocks. Differential stress can flatten the constituents of the rock. Generally, planar texture rocks are said to be foliated.

Schistosity is a kind of foliation present in phyllite and Schist rocks that are characterized by coarse-grained crystals due to the parallel alignment of platy minerals like

MicaBiotite, Muscovite.

The most visible way to recognize schistose texture is the visible platy minerals that depict planar alignment.

Hence, the correct answer is Schistosity.

Answer from: ozieera

Schistosity

Explanation:

Firstly, foliation is dominantly found in Metamorphic rocks and is said to be the parallel alignment of textural and structural features of rocks.

Differential stress is one major factor that contributes to the texture of metamorphic rocks. Differential stress can flattened the rocks constituents. Generally, planar texture rocks are said to be foliated.

Schistosity is a kind of foliation present in phyllite and Schist rocks that is characterize by coarse grained crystal due to the parallel alignment of platy minerals like mica, biotite and muscovite.

The picture above shows a schist rocks. The most visible way to recognize schistose texture is the visible platy minerals that depicts planar alignment.
