Slate is derived from it's parent rock, which is shale. Slate is a metamorphic rock that is composed of microcrystals.
Slate and shale have the same make-up. Slate is formed from sedimentary shale by pressure and heat. Wet shale has the same smell that wet slate has.
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.
Shale (a sedimentary rock) transforms naturally into slate (a metamorphic rock) after millions of years of burial deep in the crust under high temperature and pressure. It it not possible to artificially transform shale into slate.
Slate is the metamorphic rock that forms from shale after it is exposed to heat and pressure for a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggg time.
A metamorphic rock.
No. Slate is harder. Slate is shale that has been heated and compressed.
Slate and shale have the same make-up. Slate is formed from sedimentary shale by pressure and heat. Wet shale has the same smell that wet slate has.
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
It tuns into slate when matamorphosed.
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.
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
No. . . .granite not turn into slate. . . .shale is turn into slate.
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by "increased pressure" and heating.
yes, it's slate. it goes from shale to slate to phyllite to mica schist.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
The parent rock for slate is shale.
