The process is called Metamorphosis of Rocks.
When the slate goes under the conditions of high pressure and heat it changes to schist or gneiss.
Type of slate decide whether it gonna be schist or gneiss.

What rock does limestone become after going through the metamorphic process?
Shale and mudstone can become slate after metamorphosis.
Slate is a denser version of?
Slate is metamorphosed shale or mudstone.
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 sedimentary rock is made from compacted mud?
mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
What does phyllite turn into?
Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.

What happens when mudstone is put under heat and pressure?
it becomes slate
What is metamorphic rock formed from shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Where do you find slate?
Slate can be found beneath the Earth's surface. It is formed from mudstone or shale and is a fine grain of crystalline rock.
What does phyllite turn into?
Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
Contact metamorphism takes place locally near igneous intrusions. It is caused by low to moderate pressure, intense heat, and reactions to magma that is being metamorphosed. When contact metamorphism takes place with mudstone or shale (sedimentary rocks) slate is formed. The mudstone or shale is the parent rock or protolith.
What metamorphic rocks are formed from mudstones?
Slate,schist,gneiss are the metamorphic rock formed from mudstone.
What are some examples of a fine-grained rock?
Chert, mudstone, shale, slate, precipitated limestone.
What are some examples of a fine grained rock?
Chert, mudstone, shale, slate, precipitated limestone.
