Distinguish between metamorphic foliation and sedimentary layering

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Foliation is the realignment of minerals during recrystallization so that they are perpendicular to the direction of compressive force. Sedimentary layering is the result of the laying down of sediments one on top of the other.
