Intro to Geology
Banding is a metamorphic texture characterized by the distinct layering or segregation of mineral bands within a rock, resulting from the differential recrystallization of minerals under varying conditions of pressure and temperature. This texture often reflects the original composition of the parent rock and the metamorphic processes it underwent, indicating variations in mineralogy and conditions during metamorphism.
congrats on reading the definition of banding. now let's actually learn it.
