The rock you are referring to is shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of compacted clay and silt particles. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, shale can undergo metamorphism and transform into slate. This process of metamorphism causes the clay minerals in shale to recrystallize, resulting in the characteristic foliated texture of slate.

What happens to gas when you add pressure?
Gas molecules are spread out. When they are placed under pressure they condense into a liquid.
By what process do rocks become sediment?
Loose sediments can become a sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. These sediments are compacted due to intense pressure and then undergo cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
How are sand stone and conglomerate related?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from grains of sand placed under tremendous pressure. Conglomerate is also sedimentary, being a mixture of various sized stone pebbles embedded in hardened clay or cemented in a silica material.
