Slate is a clay mineral rich metamorphic rock. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock typically composed of cemented small grains of the mineral quartz. The two are very different rocks, both in composition and processes of formation.
Yes, slate is clastic. Chalk is usually considered as a bio-clastic sedimentary rock. The sedimentary rock is composed mainly of the clay minerals.
No. Slate does not contain any carbonates.
If put under tremendous pressure for millions of years - which is what happened to slate and sandstone.
You wear away sandstone by years of contact with moving water.
Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.

If put under tremendous pressure for millions of years - which is what happened to slate and sandstone.
Metamorphosed sandstone may become quartzite and limestone may become marble.
Any sedimentary rock, including limestone, shale, sandstone, mudstone, ironstone, and slate.
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
