No, all sedimentary rocks can be eroded and shale is characterised by very fine laminations. Hence the shale breaks easily along these planes of weakness and is therefore easily eroded.
Cap rock. Resistant cap rock will help protect softer rock below it from erosion. Any rock type that is more resistant to erosion than the rock type below it is called a cap rock. For instance, it could be basalt (igneous) overlying limestone (sedimentary), or limestone (sedimentary) over shale (also sedimentary).
An igneous rock is resistant to weathering and erosion because is is is made from magma. And magma rocks are really tough.
They are resistant to erosion because they are more hard. They are like a piece of cement or trying to sand down the concrete floor it just wont happen.Thank You for asking wiki :)
The rocks layers are tilted and resistant such as sandstone alternate with nonresistant rock like shale.
They are normally hard and durable, and resistant to weathering and erosion.

No. Nothing is resistant to erosion.
Carbonate rocks, such as limestone, tend to be the least resistant to weathering and erosion.

Caprocks are more erosion resistant rocks overlying less erosion resistant ones. The caprock could therefore be any resistant rock type as long as it aids in preventing the erosion of the layer below it. Sandstone and basalt lava flow are typical caprock layers.
Rock is far more resistant to weathering (erosion) than sand.
