1. The document describes different types of metamorphic rock structures, including nondirectional and directional (lineated or foliated) structures. 2. Nondirectional structures are characterized by accessory minerals and contact metamorphism, while directional structures show evidence of regional metamorphism ranging from fine-grained to gneissose. 3. The document provides examples of specific rock types that form under nondirectional and directional metamorphic conditions, such as quartzite, marble, and gneiss.
