What is slate formed by?
Slate is formed out of a sedimentary rock called Shale. It is a foliated metamorphic rock.
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
Contact metamorphism takes place locally near igneous intrusions. It is caused by low to moderate pressure, intense heat, and reactions to magma that is being metamorphosed. When contact metamorphism takes place with mudstone or shale (sedimentary rocks) slate is formed. The mudstone or shale is the parent rock or protolith.
Which is the oldest rock sandstone or shale?
shale is metamorphic, which means time, pressure and temperature has altered it. Sandstone is sedimentary which means it was formed under water. generally sandstone is younder.
Sedimentary rocks formed from clay deposits?
Shale
Gneiss is formed from what rock?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock. It is formed form another metamorphic rock called schist (sh-ist). Schist is formed form fine grained sedimentary rock (often shale). While gneiss is formed by great pressure from moving plates of the earth's crust.
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
What is shale after heat and pressure?
Slate is the metamorphic rock that forms from shale after it is exposed to heat and pressure for a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggg time.
Rocks formed from shale?
Shale can metamorphose through heat and pressure into slate.
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
What is an example of the metamorphic process of rock sandstone that is broken up into small pieces shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate?
Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.
What is slate formed by?
Slate is formed out of a sedimentary rock called Shale. It is a foliated metamorphic rock.
What is similarities between shale and slate?
Slate and shale have the same make-up. Slate is formed from sedimentary shale by pressure and heat. Wet shale has the same smell that wet slate has.

How are shale beaches formed?
Shale beaches are formed from the deposition of sediment form nearby shale cliffs which are eroded. The shale can also be deposited at a beach due to longshore drift.
What type of sedimentary rock is made from compacted mud?
mudstone and shale. These can become the metamorphic rock slate if exposed to high pressure and temperature.
Where was shale formed?
Shale forms in layers of sandstone or lime.
