Answer:

mica or chlorite, gneisses and other coarse-grained rocks

Step-by-step explanation:

This process of rock formation is called as foliation. In foliation, when pressure is applied the rock minerals which are disoriented gets aligned in a particular direction and thus leads to formation of a new organized planar rock form. This is a common process that occurs in sheety mineral such as mica or chlorite, gneisses and other coarse-grained rocks
