Is shale also known as sandstone?
No. Shale forms from clay and silt, which are much finer than the sand that forms sandstone.
What do limestone shale and sandstone have in common?
They are all sedimentary rocks. Limestone is formed from calcium-rich sediments, such as deposits of deceased shellfish, shale forms from clay and/or silt and sandstone forms from sand.
Which rock was formed by the compaction and cementation of particles 0.07 centimeters in diameter?
the answer is sandstone
Compaction would probably be more significant as a lithification process for shale sandstone conglomerate or breccia?
Shale, because sand and other coarse sediments compress little.
Which does not belong shale limestone sandstone or basalt?
Basalt. Shale, Sandstone, and Limestone are all sedimentary rocks

Is shale more likely than sand to preserve fossils?
No, shale is a finer-grained rock and will give better preservation than a sandstone.
Examples of sedimentary rocks?
gypsum,sandstone and shale

What does sandstone morph into?
shale
Where was shale formed?
Shale forms in layers of sandstone or lime.
Why can water pass easily through sandstone but not shale?
Because sandstone has wider particles than shale and this let's the water through.
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.
Which is most resistant to water erosion quartzite shale or sandstone?
Quartzite
