What metamorphic rock does shale and ganite turn into?

Shale typically turns into slate, while granite can metamorphose into gneiss.


What metamorphic rock does granite turn into after heat and pressure?

Granite will become gneiss.


Does granite turn into slate?

No, granite does not turn into slate. Granite and slate are two distinct types of rocks formed under different conditions. Granite is a coarse-grained igneous rock formed from the cooling of magma, while slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock formed from the alteration of shale or mudstone.


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.


What does shale turn into when its expossed to heat and pressure?

High pressure can cause the formation of the metamorphic rock slate from the sedimentary rock shale.


What sedimentary rock does granite turn into?

Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten magma. It does not directly turn into a sedimentary rock through metamorphism. Instead, it can be weathered and eroded to form sediment, which may then become sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation processes.


What rocks can granite turn in to?

Granites can turn into metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous rock through metamorphosis.


What is used to turn shale into slate?

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.


Can granite turn into slate?

No, granite typically does not turn into slate. Slate is formed from the metamorphism of fine-grained sedimentary rocks such as shale or mudstone, while granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma. The processes involved in their formation are different, so granite does not typically transform into slate.


What does phyllite turn into?

Phyllite is metamorphosed slate, which is also a metamorphic rock. Shale or mudstone is the protolith (parent rock) of slate.


What type of rock is the weight and pressure of a mountain er time turn shale into slate?

Metamorphic rocks


What type of rocks cannot turn into sedimentary rocks?

No rock. Any rock can turn into sedimentary rock, such as granite (igneous rock) and slate (metamorphic rock). Even sedimentary rock can turn into other sedimentary rock.
