What is an example of the metamorphic process of rock sandstone that is broken up into small pieces shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate?
Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.
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 shale turn into when its expossed to heat and pressure?
High pressure can cause the formation of the metamorphic rock slate from the sedimentary rock shale.
How is garnet is formed?
A Mica Garnet schist is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale or a granitic mother rock when this is squashed and heated at death in the crust.
What is shale after heat and pressure?
Slate is the metamorphic rock that forms from shale after it is exposed to heat and pressure for a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggg time.
What is formed from shale exposed to great pressure?
Slate forms from shale under pressure.
What is slate formed by?
Slate is formed out of a sedimentary rock called Shale. It is a foliated metamorphic rock.

Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
What is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale?

Is slate a metamorphic rock which transforms from shale?

mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
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.
Which is the oldest rock sandstone or shale?
shale is metamorphic, which means time, pressure and temperature has altered it. Sandstone is sedimentary which means it was formed under water. generally sandstone is younder.
