Shale > Slate > Phyllite > Schist > Gneiss > Migmatite > Complete Melt
Shale undergoes low-grade metamorphism to form slate, then phyllite, schist, and finally gneiss as metamorphic grade increases. This sequence is a result of increasing temperature and pressure conditions during metamorphism, leading to the formation of different minerals and textures in the rock. The progression from shale to gneiss represents a range of metamorphic grades and the increasing intensity of metamorphic processes.
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
Shale typically forms into slate, phyllite, or schist through metamorphism. Each of these metamorphic rocks forms under different temperature and pressure conditions, resulting in varying textures and mineral compositions.
Slate is the metamorphic rock formed from shale. A pile of mud can turn into shale (a fine-grained sedimentary rock) with relatively low pressure, about 3 mi (5 km) down into the earth. With more pressure and some heat, shale can transform into slate. Metamorphic rock found closer to Earth's surface, or produced by low pressure, characteristically splits or flakes into layers of varying thickness. This is called foliation. Slate is often used as roofing tiles and paving stones.

Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.

The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.

Clays lithify into shale. Shale metamorphoses into slate.
