What else can I help you with?
What s does slate turn into if heated and squashed?
Slate is already a metamorpic rock. It is formed by the action of heat and pressure on shale. Further metamorphism may produce phyllite.
What sedimentary rock is formed from thin layer of clay compacted very tightly together?
This is Shale, a Sedimentary rock.
Is slate a metamorphic rock which transforms from shale?
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
What is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
What is slate formed by?
Slate is formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone. This process involves intense heat and pressure which causes the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated rock with excellent cleavage properties.
Is a rock called shale formed from the skeletons of the ancient coral animals?
No, shale is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of silt and clay particles. It is not formed from the skeletons of ancient coral animals, which are typically preserved in rocks such as limestone.
What rock is formed when coal is transformed to metamorphic rock?
shale
What is metamorphic rock formed from shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Is a slate a igneous rock?
No, slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed by shale
What is a dark sedimentary rock formed by compression of layers of clay-rich sediment?
Shale is made from layers of mud and clay pressed together. :)
Can basalt turn into shale?
No, basalt cannot turn into shale. Basalt is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of lava, while shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of clay or mud. The processes that form these two types of rocks are different, so basalt cannot directly change into shale.
