How does shale become schist?

Shale becomes schist through the process of metamorphism. Heat and pressure from deep within the Earth cause the minerals in the shale to recrystallize, forming new minerals and textures characteristic of schist, such as aligned grains and distinct foliation. This transformation occurs over millions of years at high temperatures and pressures, converting the original sedimentary shale into a metamorphic rock known as schist.
