What can granite heated under pressure form?
GNEISS
Under pressure shale may turn into slate this is an example of?
Rock metamorphism.
What rock was once shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can transform into other types of rock through the process of metamorphism. Under heat and pressure, shale can turn into slate, while further metamorphism can result in the formation of phyllite, schist, and gneiss.
What does granite change into when put under pressure?
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 can granite and shale form under heated pressure?
Some shale becomes limestone and some changes into coal depending on what minerals are in them. --http://library.thinkquest.org/05aug/00461/shale.htm

What metamorphic rock does shale and ganite turn into?
Shale and granite are sedimentary rocks. After thousands of years under pressure and heat, they can turn into phyllite rock.
Is shale gas found under the see?
It can be. It is found in a rock type called shale and is produced in the shale form the original bio mater included in the deposition of the shale. If a unit of shale lithology is to be found on the continental shelf strata then it is likely that that shale will contain shale gas and it will be under the sea.
What is formed from shale exposed to great pressure?
Slate forms from shale under pressure.
What classification group does shale fit under?
organic
How does shale become schist?
under heat and pressure
Where is granite located in the world?
granite is located is located under japans seas
What rock is under aberdeen?
Granite
Is granite in basalt?
No. Granite and basalt have different compositions and form under different circumstances.
How big is shale?
It is just under 2 cm thick and just under 4 cm high
Explain the effects of pressure and temperature on shale?
Under the effects of pressure and temperature, shale can either melt into magma, become flattened, or create a bigger mineral.
