Can granite turn into slate?
No, granite typically does not turn into slate. Slate is formed from the metamorphism of fine-grained sedimentary rocks such as shale or mudstone, while granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma. The processes involved in their formation are different, so granite does not typically transform into slate.

Does slate increase pH level in ponds?
Slate itself is generally neutral and does not significantly affect the pH level of pond water. However, if the slate contains minerals that can dissolve, it may slightly influence the pH. In most cases, the impact of slate on pond pH is minimal compared to other factors such as organic matter, runoff, and aquatic life. Regular monitoring is essential to maintain a balanced pH for aquatic ecosystems.
