The application of pressure / heat.
Shale can be metamorphosed into slate through the process of low-grade regional metamorphism, which involves heat and pressure causing the minerals within the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated structure characteristic of slate.
Slate is formed from shale, which is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of clay and silt particles. Over time, high pressure and heat cause the shale to recrystallize into slate, a metamorphic rock known for its ability to easily split into thin sheets.
Slate was originally a sedimentary rock called shale before undergoing metamorphism. Shale is a fine-grained rock formed from the compaction of mud and clay particles. Through the process of metamorphism, the shale is subjected to heat and pressure, which transforms it into slate.
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.

The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.

A metamorphic rock.
Slate was originally a sedimentary rock called shale before undergoing metamorphism. Shale is a fine-grained rock formed from the compaction of mud and clay particles. Through the process of metamorphism, the shale is subjected to heat and pressure, which transforms it into slate.
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.

Slate is metamorphosed shale.
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
