Is Slate is metamorphic?
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
What refers to how much the metamorphic rock differs from parent rock?
Foliated grade
What rock forms at the highest grade of regional metamorphism?
Schist is the highest grade metamorphic rock of those listed in the question.
Index minerals allow a scientist 2 understand the history of metamorphic rock?
Yes! since index minerals form at specific pressure and temperature conditions hence when they are encountered or observed in a certain metamorphic rock they serve to indicate the condition by which the rock formed.They can tell whether it is a high grade or low grade metamorphism.e.g Andalusite mineral indicate high grade metamorphism associated with high temperature.
What group of rocks does slate belong to?
Slate is a low-grade metamorphic rock.
What is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Does metamorphic rock change?
Metamorphic rock can undergo a series of changes called degrees of metamorphism, from low-grade to high-grade.
Can metamorphic rocks from from other metamorphic rocks?
Yes. Most likely it would become a metamorphic rock of higher grade. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock. With increased heat and pressure it will become schist, a high grade metamorphic rock.
How can you tell if a rock is a metamorphic rock?
A metamorphic rock will display foliation or bands around the rock.
What is metamorphic rock formed from shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
What is the metamorphic grade of gneiss?
Gneiss is usually considered a high grade metamorphic rock (although there are some weird exceptions).
How can a metamorphic rock change into another rock?
Yes. A metamorphic rock can be metamorphosed into a higher-grade metamorphic rock. It can be weather into sediment and re-lithified into a sedimentary rock, or it can melt then solidify to become an igneous rock.
What is the lowest grade of foliated metamorphic rock?
Slate.
Are some rocks metamorphic AND sedimentary?
No. If a sedimentary rock has undergone even a low grade metamorphism, it is considered a metamorphic rock.
Is Slate is metamorphic?
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
What group of rock does slate belong?
Slate is a low-grade metamorphic rock.
How can you tell one metamorphic rock to another metamorphic rock?
Well it is pretty easy here it goes: A metamorphic rock will display foliation or bands around the rock.
