It is also used to state the appearance of metamorphic rocks. So by the principle of stress direction, a product called metamorphic rock is formed. A close observation of the perpendicular formation has to be made to decipher the direction of the shortening. It is formed by stress and fire. It is caused by an alteration of minerals from pressure and heat.
Slate is a foliated metamorphic rock origination from shale through the process of foliation. Other examples are phyllite, schist and gneiss. The formation of layers of rocks over the other is described as layering. Over time the deposition of rocks is a type of environment reflected when small rocks are embedded against sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks with layering have very thin layers of fine and coarse fragments or sediments.
When observed closely, one will be able to trace soft and fossil sediment deformations and marks. Sedimentary rocks are formed due to the deposition of material at the surface of the Earth.

So basically, stratification and foliation both mean layering of rocks, but stratificaiton is a term used for sedimentary rocks and foliation is a term used for metamorphic rocks! Then, how can you distinguish between a sedimentary rock and a foliated metamorphic rock when both have observable layering?
