It is more accurate to say it is formed from clay and silt.
Shale rocks turn into clay. The pressure make shale into clay.
clay, sand, and silt make up inorganic material in soil
Water deposits the clay particles in thin, flat layers.
the type of rock made mostly from clay is the shale rock
Humus
Silt and clay size sediments form shale.
Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material that is composed of mineral particles smaller than silt. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that is formed from the compaction of clay, silt, or mud over time. Essentially, shale is the hardened form of clay.
The rock that is cemented mud, clay, or silt is called shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of compacted and hardened mud or clay particles.
Shale
Silt and clay size sediments form shale.
The mixture of sand, silt, and clay is called loam. Loam soil contains a balanced combination of sand, silt, and clay particles, providing good drainage, moisture retention, and nutrient availability for plants to thrive.
A thinly layered rock composed of clay-sized particles is a type of sedimentary rock called shale. Shale is formed through the compaction of clay and silt-sized particles over time.
Shale rocks are formed in the deep waters of swaps, oceans and lakes where the water is still and the fine clay and silt particles are able to settle to the floor. Shale rocks can easily erode due to weathering.
Cemented mud, clay, or silt refers to sedimentary rocks formed when loose particles such as mud, clay, or silt are compacted and cemented together over time through pressure and chemical processes. This results in a solid rock with a fine-grained texture, often displaying distinct layering or bedding. Examples include mudstone, shale, and siltstone.
Shale is not an element. Shale is a type of sedimentary rock composed of clay-sized particles that have been compacted over time. It is made up of various minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals.
The sedimentary rock formed from thin layers of compacted clay is called shale. Shale is characterized by its fissility, or ability to split into thin sheets, due to the alignment of clay particles during the rock's formation.
The parent rock of slate is shale. Slate forms from the metamorphism of shale, which is a sedimentary rock composed of clay and silt-sized particles. The intense heat and pressure during metamorphism cause the clay minerals in shale to recrystallize into a dense, foliated structure characteristic of slate.
