What is another name for shale?
Another name for shale is mudstone
What kind of rock will form due to lithification of mud?
Mudstone or shale will form due to the lithification of mud. Mud typically consists of silt and clay particles that compact and cement together over time, forming fine-grained sedimentary rocks like mudstone or shale.
What type of metamorphic rock could be produced from mud?
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
The main difference between a mudstone and shale is what?
Shale - a sedimentary rock formed from clay or mud by considerable pressure. splits easy into thin laminations along its bedding planes and shrinks when dried out cracking to form pieces that often curl slightly to resemble tiles. when moistened it has an earthy smell Mudstone - a fine textured sedimentary rock similar to shale but is compact and is not, like shale, arranged in bedding planes
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
A nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone is called hornfels. It usually has a fine-grained texture and lacks the layering characteristic of foliated rocks. Hornfels forms when the parent rock is subjected to high temperatures and pressures near a magma intrusion.
What is another name for shale?
Another name for shale is mudstone
Slate is a denser version of?
Slate is metamorphosed shale or mudstone.
What changes into shale?

Do shale and mudstone have the same appearance?

Mudstone or shale.
What is metamorphic rock formed from shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
What are Terrigenous clastic rocks?
conglomerate, sandstones, siltstone, mudstone and shale.

What type of sedimentary rock is typically metamorphosed to form slates or phyllites?
shale or mudstone
What are some examples of a fine grained rock?
Chert, mudstone, shale, slate, precipitated limestone.
