Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The image shows foliation, which is the parallel alignment of mineral grains in a rock due to deformation. Migmatites are partially melted rocks, pressure solution is the dissolution and precipitation of minerals due to differential pressure, and metasomatism is the alteration of a rock by fluid interaction. None of these processes are visible in the image.
