Is slate a metamorphic rock which transforms from shale?
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
What is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
What is metamorphic rock formed from shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
What rock is formed when coal is transformed to metamorphic rock?
shale
Is a slate a igneous rock?
No, slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed by shale
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
Is slate a foliated metamorphic rock?
Yes, slate is a foliated metamorphic rock formed from the sedimentary rock shale.
What is slate formed by?
Slate is formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone. This process involves intense heat and pressure which causes the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated rock with excellent cleavage properties.
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
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.
Is Slate is metamorphic?
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
What kind of rock is forms when heat and pressure of mountain building change sedimentary rock?
The sedimentary rock gets transformed into metamorphic rock under the heat and pressure of mountain-building processes. Examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and schist from shale.
