How do you make oil out of shale?
You don't make oil from shale, you extract oil from shale. The shale acts like a sponge, sometimes the shale is so porous that the oil can be squeezed or sucked out, otherwise it can be extracted by crushing and heating the shale.
Is shale common?
Yes, shale is considered a common rock. Also, out of all the sedimentary rocks, it is the most common one.
Why are we not producing oil from oil shale?
The reason that oil shale is not used to produce oil is because this is what keeps the oil well from collapsing after the oil is removed. If the oil shale were mined, the oil well would collapse into a large trench in the ground.
Friction angle of shale?
Its limits are 30 to 35 degrees.
What is a drawback to use of oil shale to produce energy?
Expense
What is another name for shale?
Another name for shale is mudstone
Slate is a denser version of?
Slate is metamorphosed shale or mudstone.
What changes into shale?

What kind of rock will form due to lithification of mud?
Mudstone or shale will form due to the lithification of mud. Mud typically consists of silt and clay particles that compact and cement together over time, forming fine-grained sedimentary rocks like mudstone or shale.
Sedimentary rock that is made from clays is called?
Mudstone or shale.
The main difference between a mudstone and shale is what?
Shale - a sedimentary rock formed from clay or mud by considerable pressure. splits easy into thin laminations along its bedding planes and shrinks when dried out cracking to form pieces that often curl slightly to resemble tiles. when moistened it has an earthy smell Mudstone - a fine textured sedimentary rock similar to shale but is compact and is not, like shale, arranged in bedding planes
What is metamorphic rock formed from shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
What are Terrigenous clastic rocks?
conglomerate, sandstones, siltstone, mudstone and shale.
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 type of sedimentary rock is typically metamorphosed to form slates or phyllites?
shale or mudstone
How much are mudstone and shale worth?
The value of mudstone and shale can vary depending on factors such as quality, location, and market demand. Generally, mudstone and shale are not typically high-value commodities unless they contain valuable minerals or resources like oil and gas. Prices are usually determined through negotiations with buyers and sellers in the industry.
What are some examples of a fine grained rock?
Chert, mudstone, shale, slate, precipitated limestone.
