schists, but this can form from many other rocks than slate.

What is slate formed by?
Slate is formed out of a sedimentary rock called Shale. It is a foliated metamorphic rock.
Is granite and slate the same?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the solidification of magma underground. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock formed from heat and pressure applied to deposits of shale, a sedimentary rock.
Where and how slate was formed?
Slate is a metamorphic rock. Slate is actually shale that had low heat and not very much pressure put on it. Slate is mostly formed in mountain areas. It takes thousands of years for slate to change. Slate can be any color but is mostly found in gray or black. When it is broken, it splits into layers. It can have quartz, muscovite, hematite, graphite, and other minerals in it.
What is a nonfoliated rock formed by contact metamorphism of a shale or mudstone?
Contact metamorphism takes place locally near igneous intrusions. It is caused by low to moderate pressure, intense heat, and reactions to magma that is being metamorphosed. When contact metamorphism takes place with mudstone or shale (sedimentary rocks) slate is formed. The mudstone or shale is the parent rock or protolith.
How are metamorfic rocks formed?
formed by immense heat and pressure
What is shale after heat and pressure?
Slate is the metamorphic rock that forms from shale after it is exposed to heat and pressure for a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggg time.
What is slate formed by?
Slate is formed out of a sedimentary rock called Shale. It is a foliated metamorphic rock.
Rocks formed from shale?
Shale can metamorphose through heat and pressure into slate.
What is similarities between shale and slate?
Slate and shale have the same make-up. Slate is formed from sedimentary shale by pressure and heat. Wet shale has the same smell that wet slate has.
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
How is slate formed how is it used?
Slate is formed by heat and pressure on shale or mud stone. It splits into perfectly cleaved, broad thin sheets. It is a sedimentary rock made of volcanic ash.

What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
What type of rock is formed when other rocks are exposed to great heat and pressure?
Metamorphic.
What s does slate turn into if heated and squashed?
Slate is already a metamorpic rock. It is formed by the action of heat and pressure on shale. Further metamorphism may produce phyllite.
Is granite and slate the same?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the solidification of magma underground. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock formed from heat and pressure applied to deposits of shale, a sedimentary rock.
What is the formation of slate?
when shale is subjected to heat and pressure, it can be metamorphosed into slate.
