What rock is slate but in the past it was shale?
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
When granite rocks get metamorphosed they changes into?
marble
What three types of rocks can be metamorphosed into metamorphic rocks?
The 3 basic rock types are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, which can all be changed or metamorphosed by heat and pressure.
Could contact metamorphism change a shale into a phyllite?
No. Contact metamorphism will most likely alter shale into hornfels. Phyllite is regionally metamorphosed slate, and slate is metamorphosed shale.
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by what?
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by "increased pressure" and heating.
Slate is a denser version of?
Slate is metamorphosed shale or mudstone.
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
What is the formation of slate?
when shale is subjected to heat and pressure, it can be metamorphosed into slate.
What rock makes slate?
metamorphosed shale
What are 3 specific types of metamorphic rocks and what was their parent rock?
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
What is the difference between slate and phyllite?
The degree of metamorphism. Phyllite is slate further metamorphosed.
What was slate before being metamorphosed?
it is made of granite
Shales changed form?
Slate is metamorphosed shale.
What rock is slate but in the past it was shale?
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.
What type of rock is slate?
