No. The metamorphism of shale forms slate. Granite is formed when high-silica magma cools underground.

Is a rock called shale formed from the skeletons of the ancient coral animals?
No . Shale is formed my the metamorphism of the rock - Slate
How is Unakite formed?
Hydrothermal metamorphism of a granite prototype.
Could contact metamorphism change a shale into a phyllite?
No. Contact metamorphism will most likely alter shale into hornfels. Phyllite is regionally metamorphosed slate, and slate is metamorphosed shale.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels?
Contact 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.

No . Shale is formed my the metamorphism of the rock - Slate
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
How is Unakite formed?
Hydrothermal metamorphism of a granite prototype.
Which two kinds of adjoining bedrock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism between them?
shale and sandstone
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
Contact metamorphism takes place locally near igneous intrusions. It is caused by low to moderate pressure, intense heat, and reactions to magma that is being metamorphosed. When contact metamorphism takes place with mudstone or shale (sedimentary rocks) slate is formed. The mudstone or shale is the parent rock or protolith.
Is Slate formed from Granite?
The parent rock for slate is shale.
Describe the metamorphism of shale and the rock sequence involved in that metamorphism?
Shale is a sedimentary rock. In increasing metamorphism, the sequence begins with shale and leads to phyllite, schist, then gneiss.
Could contact metamorphism change a shale into a phyllite?
No. Contact metamorphism will most likely alter shale into hornfels. Phyllite is regionally metamorphosed slate, and slate is metamorphosed shale.
What type of rock would result from the metamorphism of granite?
Granite is Igneous rock. It crystallizes from hot melt (magma). Metamorphic rocks can be found associated with granite as result of their contact with country (surrounding) rocks. This will be a contact metamorphism. Metamorphism of granite it self results into granitic gneisses which are coarse foliated rocks.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels?
Contact Metamorphism
Does gneiss turn into shale?
No. its the opposite. gneiss forms after shale goes through metamorphism
Is granite and slate the same?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the solidification of magma underground. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock formed from heat and pressure applied to deposits of shale, a sedimentary rock.
