Shale and granite are sedimentary rocks. After thousands of years under pressure and heat, they can turn into phyllite rock.
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.
Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.
Chalk, which is a sedimentary rock made of calcium carbonate, typically transforms into marble under heat and pressure. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone or dolostone.
Extrusive igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks through the process of regional metamorphism, where they are subjected to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the mineral composition and texture of the rock to change, resulting in the formation of a new metamorphic rock.
Rocks that experience greater heat and pressure but do not melt will typically undergo metamorphism and transform into metamorphic rocks. Examples include marble, slate, and quartzite, which form from the alteration of existing rock types like limestone, shale, and sandstone, respectively.
High pressure can cause the formation of the metamorphic rock slate from the sedimentary rock shale.
Shale (a sedimentary rock) transforms naturally into slate (a metamorphic rock) after millions of years of burial deep in the crust under high temperature and pressure. It it not possible to artificially transform shale into slate.
Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.
Metamorphic rocks
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 metamorphosed shale.
Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.
Shale rocks turn into clay. The pressure make shale into clay.

Chalk, which is a sedimentary rock made of calcium carbonate, typically transforms into marble under heat and pressure. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone or dolostone.
No, basalt cannot turn into shale. Basalt is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of lava, while shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of clay or mud. The processes that form these two types of rocks are different, so basalt cannot directly change into shale.
No, but slate and gneiss are both a type of metamorphic rock. Slate will also turn into Gneiss, eventually, if metamorphosing continues. The series is Shale (sedimentary) >> Slate (metamorphic) >> Phyllite >> Schist >> Gneiss
