Is slate a foliated of non foliated rock?
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
Is slate foliated or nonfoliated?
Slate is a foliated metamorphic rock.
What is a kind of foliated metamorphic rock?
Slate
What is the lowest grade of foliated metamorphic rock?
Slate.
Is Slate is metamorphic?
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
How are slate and marble different?
Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
What major rock is foliated?
Slate, gneiss, schist. Metamorphic rocks. Just the foliated ones.
What kind of metamorphic rock splits into sheets when broken?
foliated
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.
What is an example of a foliated metamorphic rock?
Foliated rocks have layers in them. We often refer to the layers as Banding.
What foliated metamorphic rock forms when the sedimentary rock shale is subjected to relatively low temperatures and pressure?
The foliated metamorphic rock that forms when shale is subjected to relatively low temperatures and pressure is called slate. Slate is characterized by its fine grained texture and ability to be split into thin sheets.
What foliated metamorphic rock is texturally intermediate between slate and schist?
Phyllite is a foliated metamorphic rock that is texturally intermediate between slate and schist. It exhibits a greater degree of metamorphism than slate but not as much as schist, resulting in a medium-grain texture with a glossy sheen.
