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 s does slate turn into if heated and squashed?
Slate is already a metamorpic rock. It is formed by the action of heat and pressure on shale. Further metamorphism may produce phyllite.
Under pressure shale may turn into slate this is an example of?
Rock metamorphism.
What sedimentary rock does shale turn into?
Slate is metamorphosed shale.
What type of rock is the weight and pressure of a mountain er time turn shale into slate?
Metamorphic rocks
When shale is under heat and pressure what two metamorphic rocks does it turn in to?
i donno
What metamorphic rock does shale and ganite turn into?
Shale and granite are sedimentary rocks. After thousands of years under pressure and heat, they can turn into phyllite rock.
What does shale rock turn into?
Shale rocks turn into clay. The pressure make shale into clay.
Does clay turn into limestone or marble?
Clays would become shale, then metamorphose into slate with heat and pressure.
What causes shale to turn into slate?
pressure
What metamorphic rock does chalk turn into after heat and pressure?
it becomes a shale rock. There is no way that chalk, a form of limestone, can be metamorphosed into shale. It will like limestone change to marble.

Does shale form from gneiss?
It can, indirectly. Shale is a sedimentary rock. Like many rocks, gneiss can be weathered down to very fine particles to the point that it becomes clay or silt. Those particles can then settle on the bottom of a body of water as mud. Under the pressure of burial, that mud can become shale. However, gneiss can also form from shale. Under long exposure to enormous heat and pressure shale will becomes slate, further heating and pressure will turn slate into phyllite, phyllite into schist, and schist into gneiss.
