No. Shale is a mixture.
Shale can be dissolved by using acidizing techniques, where acid is pumped into the shale reservoir to dissolve the rock and create channels for increased oil and gas flow. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is another method where high-pressure fluids are injected into the shale to create fractures and release trapped oil and gas. These techniques are commonly used in the oil and gas industry to extract resources from shale formations.
== == == == == == The cap rock on a coal bed is usually a sedimentary rock, (i.e. shale sandstone etc.) but not always shale. Slate is a metamorphic rock, usually derived from shale that has been exposed to high pressures and temperatures over very long periods of time. Ways to tell the difference between slate and shale: Slate will have a smooth surface, and possible have light glare at a right angle. Shale will have a dull, sandy surface. Tap them against something hard. Slate will make a "clink" noise, almost like porcelain or ceramic, where shale will make a "thud" sound. Rub it against your teeth. Slate will be smooth, shale will be gritty. == == == ==
The wedge shattering the slab of shale is a physical change. This is because the shale undergoes a change in shape and size without any new substances being formed.
Oil shale is a type of rock that contains kerogen, a precursor to oil. When heated, the kerogen in oil shale can be converted into oil and gas. This process is known as pyrolysis.
When oil shale burns, it releases heat and produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other combustion byproducts. The heat generated can be harnessed for energy production through combustion or other thermal processes. Burning oil shale can also emit pollutants and greenhouse gases, which can have environmental and health impacts.
Shale is neither an element nor a compound. Shale is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of a mixture of minerals, organic matter, and other materials.
Compound
Shale is a noun.
It can be. It is found in a rock type called shale and is produced in the shale form the original bio mater included in the deposition of the shale. If a unit of shale lithology is to be found on the continental shelf strata then it is likely that that shale will contain shale gas and it will be under the sea.
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
No, shale is clastic.
Shale.
No, shale is not magnetic.
Another name for shale is mudstone
Shale rocks turn into clay. The pressure make shale into clay.
Melanee Shale's birth name is Melanee Ann Shale.
Shale is made from layers of mud and clay pressed together. :)
