A metaphorphic rock is a rock that undergoes changes to become a different type of rock. The rock changes due to extreme pressure wich makes them heat up, and change types.... i hope this helps :)
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
A metamorphic rock.
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.
Yes, slate was once shale. Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of mud and clay, while slate is a metamorphic rock that forms from the metamorphism of shale. The process of metamorphism involves heat and pressure, which transforms the shale into slate by aligning the minerals and creating a foliation (layering) within the rock.

Clays lithify into shale. Shale metamorphoses into slate.
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.

Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.

No. Shale is laminated. It is a sedimentary rock. Foliation is a characteristic of metamorphic rock.

The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.
