What are the types of rocks and minerals found in turkey?
some minerals are mica, fledspar, and rocks are marble, shale ,slate,granite etc.
Would shale conduct electricity?
Not in the amounts you would expect from a metal, but surprisingly yes. This is mainly due to the water in the pores, whose conductivity is increased by ions from the minerals in the shale.
Which rock in which the mineral is not present?
Rocks are aggregates of minerals,thus there is no rock without minerals. Q.E.D
Which minerals are present in granite but are never present in gabbro?
Never say never, but it's mica.
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
What minerals form shale?
no
Is shale a type of volcano?
== Shale is a sedimentary rock, comprised of lithified mud and clay minerals.
What minerals are present in shale?
Minerals could include clays, feldspars, quartz, micas, and pyrite.
Shale rock is made of what 2 things?
its made out of minerals
What minerals make up shale?
Minerals could include clays, feldspars, quartz, micas, and pyrite
Name the rocks with which non metallic minerals such as petroleum are associated?
Shale
What is the difference between clay and shale?
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT CLAY IS MOIST, SOFT, AND SMOOTH. SHALE IS rock of fissile or laminated structure .
Why do clay minerals change to mica in the metamorphism of shale?
Because it does,that the main reason jkThe mild heat and pressure that changes clay into shale causes the minerals in the clay to align and compress into more crystalline layers, ie. mica.

Is shale rock heavy or light?
Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock whose original constituents were clay minerals or muds. It is characterized by thin laminae[1] breaking with an irregular curving fracture, often splintery and usually parallel to the often-indistinguishable bedding plane. This property is called fissility. Non-fissile rocks of similar composition but made of particles smaller than 1/16 mm are described as mudstones. Rocks with similar particle sizes but with less clay and therefore grittier are siltstones. Shale is the most common sedimentary rock.[2]
Is shale foliated?
No. Shale is laminated. Foliations arean allignment of minerals due to increase in temperature and pressure during metamorphism. The laminations in shale however are a result of the plate like nature of clay minerals (more technically known as phyllosilicates) which when deposited lie flat against each other forming the lamina seen in shales.
Is shale is formed from the skeletons of ancient coral animals?
Shale rock is indirectly formed of skeletons and ancient coral animals. Clay minerals and tiny fragments of minerals like quartz and calcite make up shale. Calcite comes from the reaction of CaCO3, or calcium carbonate with Hydrogen ions. CaCO3 is a component of shells and bones.
