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.
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.
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic 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.
Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.
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.
No. its the opposite. gneiss forms after shale goes through metamorphism
The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.
Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.
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.

silicate rocks, such as granite, gneiss, basalt, and shale.
gneiss
Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
