Foliation is the result of the parallel arrangement of (micas, etc.) in a plane perpendicular to the maximum principal applied stress. A lineation is caused by a similar growth of elongate minerals (eg. hornblende) in this plane. Slate, schist, and gneiss are three common foliated metamorphic rocks.
Slate. Slate is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary or igneous rocks are exposed to conditions of very high pressure or temperature, or are exposed to large amounts of very hot water. Slate is formed when fine-grained sedimentary rock (shale) is buried and exposed to high pressure deep beneath the Earth's surface.
