Shale is a brown to black rock that is composed of very thin, easily split layers of strata, and the rock's graining on a freshly cleaved surface is so fine that individual grains are not distinguishable with the naked eye.

No, shale is not attracted to magnets as it does not contain any magnetic elements like iron or nickel. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock made up of clay minerals and other particles that are not magnetic in nature.
No, shale rock is denser than water, so it will sink in water. It is composed of fine-grained minerals such as clay, which typically have a higher density than water.
Another name for shale is mudstone
Shale is a type of sedimentary rock composed of fine-grained sediment particles, including clay and silt. While shale is porous and can contain water within its pore spaces, it does not absorb water like a sponge. Instead, water can flow through the interconnected pore network in shale.
Shale is a type of rock. A piece of shale is normally flat and thin like a small chalkboard.
No. Shale sinks just like most other rocks.

Shale is a noun.

Shale is the usual rock type to look for.
It smells like clay because that is what it's made out of.
How many people in the world, I do not know :) But my name is Shale Morris. If you look up shale Morris in Google, you oughtta find some people.
It can be. It is found in a rock type called shale and is produced in the shale form the original bio mater included in the deposition of the shale. If a unit of shale lithology is to be found on the continental shelf strata then it is likely that that shale will contain shale gas and it will be under the sea.
the cleavage is Poor

The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
