From which rock type does slate form?

The most usual protolith of slate is the sedimentary rock shale.


How do you slate?

Slate is formed when clay is squashed under extreme temperature and pressure under the Earth. You can't make it at home!

Shales changed form?

Slate is metamorphosed shale.


What does shale form into once it is a metamorphic rock does it form into anything?

It tuns into slate when matamorphosed.


How long does it take to form slate?

Slate forms from the metamorphism of shale or similar sedimentary rocks over a period of millions of years. The process involves intense pressure and temperature conditions, typically occurring deep within the Earth's crust. While the exact time can vary based on environmental factors, it generally takes at least several million years for slate to develop.


What is an example of the metamorphic process of rock sandstone that is broken up into small pieces shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate?

Shale that is exposed to high temperature and pressure and turned to slate is an example of the metamorphic process.

Gneiss goes through metamorphosis at a higher temperature than slate so it has a higher what?

metamorphic grade


What is the melting point of slate?

The melting point of slate is around 1,200 to 1,250 degrees Celsius (2,192 to 2,282 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, the minerals in the slate begin to break down and the rock transitions into a molten state.


Gneiss goes through metamorphosis at a higher temperature then slate so it has a higher what?

Gneiss undergoes metamorphosis at higher temperatures than slate, which results in a higher grade of metamorphism. This means gneiss typically has a higher metamorphic grade, indicating it has been subjected to more intense pressure and temperature conditions compared to slate. Consequently, gneiss exhibits coarser mineral grains and more complex foliation patterns than slate.
