Describe the metamorphism of shale and the rock sequence involved in that metamorphism?
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.
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
Is Slate is metamorphic?
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
What type of metamorphic rock does shale form?
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.
What metamorphic rock is formed when shale and basalt are heated?
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.

Is slate a metamorphic rock which transforms from shale?
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
What is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
What is metamorphic rock formed from shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Is shale a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock?
shale is a sedimentary rock
What is a metamorphic formed from shale?
Slate
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock is formed from the metamorphic of shale?
The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.
What are some names metamorphic rocks?
shale
What metamorphic rock is water proof?
Shale
What metamorphic rock is made from clay?
Clays lithify into shale. Shale metamorphoses into slate.
