It can, indirectly. Shale is a sedimentary rock. Like many rocks, gneiss can be weathered down to very fine particles to the point that it becomes clay or silt. Those particles can then settle on the bottom of a body of water as mud. Under the pressure of burial, that mud can become shale.
However, gneiss can also form from shale. Under long exposure to enormous heat and pressure shale will becomes slate, further heating and pressure will turn slate into phyllite, phyllite into schist, and schist into gneiss.
What else can I help you with?
Describe the metamorphism of shale and the rock sequence involved in that metamorphism?
Shale undergoes low-grade metamorphism to form slate, then phyllite, schist, and finally gneiss as metamorphic grade increases. This sequence is a result of increasing temperature and pressure conditions during metamorphism, leading to the formation of different minerals and textures in the rock. The progression from shale to gneiss represents a range of metamorphic grades and the increasing intensity of metamorphic processes.
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
Gneiss is formed from what rock?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock. It is formed form another metamorphic rock called schist (sh-ist). Schist is formed form fine grained sedimentary rock (often shale). While gneiss is formed by great pressure from moving plates of the earth's crust.
What metamorphic rock does shale and granite turn into?
Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.
What does gneiss form into?
There is no grade of metamorphism beyond gneiss. Higher grades of metamorphism mean higher temperature and pressure. Beyond the conditions that form gneiss, temperatures are high enough to melt rock, at which point the resulting rock will be igneous rather than metamorphic.
Does gneiss turn into shale?
No. its the opposite. gneiss forms after shale goes through metamorphism
What kind of rock is formed from the metamorphic of shale?
The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.
What forms gneiss?
Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.
What is a common parent rock for slate and gneiss?
Shale is a common parent rock for both slate and gneiss. Slate forms from the metamorphism of fine-grained sedimentary rocks like shale, while gneiss forms from the metamorphism of various rock types including shale.

What are two common types of metamorphic rock?
shale slate gneiss
What is made of baUxite?
silicate rocks, such as granite, gneiss, basalt, and shale.
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
What metamorphic rock does shale and granite turn into?
Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.
The rock type which results from metamorphosed shale is?
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
