Shallow depths because gneiss's changes are so great that all traces of the original shale are gone. :) I hope that helped! (: <3

The question is incomplete. No options (for which of the following) are given to answer the question.
young mountains along an ocean coast.
young mountains along an ocean coast.
This is just a guess but most likely because of erosion.
No , because it has to be deep inside the earth so it ca be pushed up.
Gneiss is more likely to form at great depths where mountains are being pushed up, typically in regions undergoing high pressure and temperature conditions associated with deep crustal or subduction zone environments. Shallow depths are more conducive to the formation of rocks like granite rather than gneiss.

I believe it's in the Canadian (state/province) Northwest Territories.
Gneiss is a likely prospect.
under depths of water
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that meets those criteria.
Red Algae
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that meets those criteria.
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that meets those criteria.
Gneiss is a Plutonic metamorphic rock which is formed under high pressure and temperature condition at Katazone or Lower Zone.
The source is most likely to be in the mountains because water can't flow downhill.
