Which metamorphic rock is monomineralic?
slate which only contains the composition mica quartzite and marble as well
How are slate and shale alike?
Dark Colour, Clay mineral composition (Kaolanite), Laminations of minerals
What is the hardness of slate?
Slate is a rock of mixed mineral composition and does therefore does not possess a uniform Mohs hardness. Because of varying porosity along with other factors, the elastic modulus, or measurement of stiffness, of various slate specimens will vary.
Is slate is harder than shale?
Slate is so hard because it came from shale that is put under pressure with high temperature. The clay composition of shale converts to mica, making it hard.
Is slate sandstone?
Slate is a clay mineral rich metamorphic rock. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock typically composed of cemented small grains of the mineral quartz. The two are very different rocks, both in composition and processes of formation.

Chemical name for slate?
Slate is not a specific mineral, and thus has no particular chemical composition. It is a sedimentary rock, lightly metamorphosed, and formed from fine grained parent material. It may include fine fossils.
Is slate is harder than shale?
Slate is so hard because it came from shale that is put under pressure with high temperature. The clay composition of shale converts to mica, making it hard.

What is marble made and slate made from?
Marble is made from metamorphosing carbonate rocks such as limestone, so it's composition is mostly calcium carbonate (like Tums, it fizzes when acid is poured on it). Slate is made from metamorphosing shale (a sedimentary rock made from small flat clay grains).
What is the mass of slate?
2691- Solid slate. 1290-1450- Broken slate. 1362- Pulverized slate. 2691- Solid slate. 1290-1450- Broken slate. 1362- Pulverized slate.
What happens to the slate if these condition increase?
The slate or slate changes into schist
Is slate harder than shale?
No. Slate is harder. Slate is shale that has been heated and compressed.
Can granite turn into slate?
No. . . .granite not turn into slate. . . .shale is turn into slate.
