What is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale?

Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.


What type of metamorphic rock does shale form?

Shale typically forms into slate, phyllite, or schist through metamorphism. Each of these metamorphic rocks forms under different temperature and pressure conditions, resulting in varying textures and mineral compositions.


Which of Slate Granite Shale or Pumice is classified as a sedimentary rock?

Slate, granite, and shale are classified as metamorphic or igneous rocks, while pumice is classified as an igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment.


What sedimentary rock does shale turn into?

What rocks recrystallize to form metamorphic?

What metamorphic rock is formed when shale and basalt are heated?

Slate is the metamorphic rock formed from shale. A pile of mud can turn into shale (a fine-grained sedimentary rock) with relatively low pressure, about 3 mi (5 km) down into the earth. With more pressure and some heat, shale can transform into slate. Metamorphic rock found closer to Earth's surface, or produced by low pressure, characteristically splits or flakes into layers of varying thickness. This is called foliation. Slate is often used as roofing tiles and paving stones.
