What metamorphic rock does shale and granite turn into?

Shale turns into slate, granite into gneiss.


What sedimentary rock does shale turn into?

Slate is metamorphosed shale.


Is slate and gneiss the same thing?

No, but slate and gneiss are both a type of metamorphic rock. Slate will also turn into Gneiss, eventually, if metamorphosing continues. The series is Shale (sedimentary) >> Slate (metamorphic) >> Phyllite >> Schist >> Gneiss


What metamorphic rock does shale and ganite turn into?

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


What forms gneiss?

Gneiss metamorphosed from shale, sandstone, granite and conglomerate.


Does shale form from gneiss?

It can, indirectly. Shale is a sedimentary rock. Like many rocks, gneiss can be weathered down to very fine particles to the point that it becomes clay or silt. Those particles can then settle on the bottom of a body of water as mud. Under the pressure of burial, that mud can become shale. However, gneiss can also form from shale. Under long exposure to enormous heat and pressure shale will becomes slate, further heating and pressure will turn slate into phyllite, phyllite into schist, and schist into gneiss.


What is a common parent rock for slate and gneiss?

Shale is a common parent rock for both slate and gneiss. Slate forms from the metamorphism of fine-grained sedimentary rocks like shale, while gneiss forms from the metamorphism of various rock types including shale.


Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?

Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.


What rock was once shale?

Shale is a sedimentary rock that can transform into other types of rock through the process of metamorphism. Under heat and pressure, shale can turn into slate, while further metamorphism can result in the formation of phyllite, schist, and gneiss.
