Where and how slate was formed?
Slate is a metamorphic rock. Slate is actually shale that had low heat and not very much pressure put on it. Slate is mostly formed in mountain areas. It takes thousands of years for slate to change. Slate can be any color but is mostly found in gray or black. When it is broken, it splits into layers. It can have quartz, muscovite, hematite, graphite, and other minerals in it.

How was slate made?
Slate starts as clay. Thhrough erosion and nature, the clay can change to shale or slate. Shale happens when layers upon layers are of clay and sediment are piled together and held in place with something very very heavy. Slate is altered shale that had low heat and not very much pressure put on it. It takes thousands of years for slate to change. Slate can be any color but is mostly found in gray or black. When it is broken, it splits into layers.
Why is slate denser is denser than shale?

How are slate and marble different?
Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
Is slate strong?
Yes, it is a strong, hard rock that splits into think layers.
Whick type of rock has layers?
Sedimentary rock, such as limestone, chalk, slate and sandstone.
Does sandstone fizz with acid?
No. Slate does not contain any carbonates.
Does slate conduct electric?
Slate is an electrical insulator. Slate is not a conductor of electricity.
