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 is low-grade metamorphism?
Alow-grade metamorphism is when the rock turns to shale,a sedimentary rock then to slate
Is granite formed from the metamorphism of a shale?
No. The metamorphism of shale forms slate. Granite is formed when high-silica magma cools underground.
Under pressure shale may turn into slate this is an example of?
Rock 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.
What are the types of rock metamorphism?
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)
What is the difference between slate and phyllite?
The degree of metamorphism. Phyllite is slate further metamorphosed.
What commonly becomes phyllite through metamorphism?
slate
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 associated with orogens?
Regional Metamorphism
What is low-grade metamorphism?
Alow-grade metamorphism is when the rock turns to shale,a sedimentary rock then to slate
Is granite formed from the metamorphism of a shale?
No. The metamorphism of shale forms slate. Granite is formed when high-silica magma cools underground.
Is slate extrusive igneous rock?
Slate is a metamorphic rock which originated typically as a shale, or mudstone/claystone, and is usually associated with Regional Metamorphism (intense pressure with heat). This can be due to overburden, continental collision or other large scale compressional geological processes.
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.
Under pressure shale may turn into slate this is an example of?
Rock metamorphism.
Which sedimentary rock is most likely to be changed to slate during regional metamorphism?
Shale.
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.
