| Gneiss () is a common and widely distributed type of high-grade metamorphic rock. Gneiss is formed by high-temperature and high-pressure metamorphic processes acting on formations composed of igneous or sedimentary rocks. Orthogneiss is gneiss derived from igneous rock (such as granite). Paragneiss is gneiss derived from sedimentary rock (such as sandstone). Gneiss forms at higher temperatures and pressures than does schist. Gneiss is typically foliated (composed of layers of sheet-like planar structures). The foliations are characterized by alternating darker and lighter colored bands, called gneissic banding. |
