The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
Is shale sedimentary-metamorphic or igneous?
It is a Sedimentary rock
Is shale igneous metamorphic sedimentary?
It is a Sedimentary rock
Is shale foiliated?
No. Shale is laminated. It is a sedimentary rock. Foliation is a characteristic of metamorphic rock.
Is shale igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of fine-grained sediment such as mud or clay.
Is slate a foliated metamorphic rock?
Yes, slate is a foliated metamorphic rock formed from the sedimentary rock shale.
How could metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock?
When sedimentary rock undergoes enough heat and pressure, it becomes metamorphic rock. A classic example of this is when shale becomes 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.
Which of Slate Granite Shale or Pumice is classified as a sedimentary rock?
Slate, granite, and shale are classified as metamorphic or igneous rocks, while pumice is classified as an igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment.
Is shale metamorphic?
Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of clay, silt, and mineral particles. It is not a metamorphic rock, although it can undergo metamorphism to form slate through low-grade metamorphism.
What does sedimentary rock become when it is metamorphosed?
Sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic rock when subjected to high temperatures and pressures. This process causes the minerals within the sedimentary rock to recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in a new rock with different characteristics.
