Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by what?
Shale can be metamorphosed into slate through the process of low-grade regional metamorphism, which involves heat and pressure causing the minerals within the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated structure characteristic of slate.
What type of metamorphic rock could be produced from mud?
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
What is the difference between slate and phyllite?
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock formed from the low-grade metamorphism of shale or mudstone, while phyllite is a more intermediate-grade metamorphic rock formed from the metamorphism of slate. Phyllite has a more pronounced foliation and sheen due to increased metamorphic pressure and temperature compared to slate.
Is Slate is metamorphic?
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by?
subjected to heat and pressure. The intense heat and pressure cause the shale's minerals to recrystallize, giving rise to the fine-grained texture and foliation characteristic of slate.
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
What is the formation of slate?
when shale is subjected to heat and pressure, it can be metamorphosed into slate.
What are 3 specific types of metamorphic rocks and what was their parent rock?
Slate--metamorphosed shale or mudstone.Phyllite--metamorphosed slate.Quartzite--metamorphosed sandstone.
Shale is a sedimentary rock that can be metamorphosed into slate by what?
Shale can be metamorphosed into slate through the process of low-grade regional metamorphism, which involves heat and pressure causing the minerals within the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated structure characteristic of slate.
Shales changed form?
Slate is metamorphosed shale.
Slate is a denser version of?
Slate is metamorphosed shale or mudstone.
What rock is slate but in the past it was shale?
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.
What type of rock is slate?
A metamorphic rock.
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 metamorphic rock could be produced from mud?
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
The rock type which results from metamorphosed shale is?
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
Chemical name for slate?
Slate is not a specific mineral, and thus has no particular chemical composition. It is a sedimentary rock, lightly metamorphosed, and formed from fine grained parent material. It may include fine fossils.
