Under the effects of pressure and temperature, shale can either melt into magma, become flattened, or create a bigger mineral.

What does schist begin as?
As you increase the temperature and pressure of Shale it metamorphism occurs. It changes in this order: Shale > Slate > Phyllite > Schist > Gneiss > Migmatite
Which is the oldest rock sandstone or shale?
shale is metamorphic, which means time, pressure and temperature has altered it. Sandstone is sedimentary which means it was formed under water. generally sandstone is younder.
What is formed from shale exposed to great pressure?
Slate forms from shale under pressure.
What causes shale to change into slate?
Pressure
What causes shale to turn into slate?
pressure
What is an example of the metamorphic process of rock sandstone that is broken up into small pieces shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate?
Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.

What does shale rock turn into?
Shale rocks turn into clay. The pressure make shale into clay.
What is used to turn shale into slate?
Shale (a sedimentary rock) transforms naturally into slate (a metamorphic rock) after millions of years of burial deep in the crust under high temperature and pressure. It it not possible to artificially transform shale into slate.
What is shale after heat and pressure?
Slate is the metamorphic rock that forms from shale after it is exposed to heat and pressure for a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggg time.
What are ways to get schist?
Schist is a foliated metamorphic rock. It is formed when mudstone, shale, slate, or phyllite are subjected to higher temperature and pressure.
Rocks formed from shale?
Shale can metamorphose through heat and pressure into slate.
Is slate is harder than shale?
Slate is so hard because it came from shale that is put under pressure with high temperature. The clay composition of shale converts to mica, making it hard.
What type of sedimentary rock is made from compacted mud?
mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
What protolith would be most valuable in determining the pressure and temperature of metamorphism?
Possibly shale, as it goes through a series of metamorphic transitions from slate to migmatite.
