What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
Is chert metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
Brick is baked mud, and as such, can be considered to be sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks form from sediments being cemented together?
A sedimentary rock, such as sandstone (quartz mineral grains eroded, transported and set in a fine matrix of mud) or a conglomerate formed in a high energy environment such as a beach of fast-flowing river bed, containing large pebbles set in a fine to medium matrix of sand and mud grains.
Which rock type forms when mud is compacted and lithified into a rock?
Shale
Is sandstone limestone and shale are all examples of igneous rock?
Sandstone, Limestone and Shale are all examples of sedimentary rock, formed by layer after layer of different types of water born sediment laid down over millions of years and compressed into rock. The different types of sediment determine which type of rock is formed, obviously sand being the main component of sandstone, mud can form shale. Igneous rock is rock formed by volcanic processes, different minerals in the molten rock will determine it's type, such as granite. Metamorphic rock is the third type of rock formed by extreme pressure and heat upon sedimentary rock, marble being formed from limestone, slate from shale.
Why is a sedimentary rock called a sedimentary rock?
Because it was originally a sediment, such as sand or mud, but was then lithified into a rock.
Is shale igneous sedimentary or metamorphic?
Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from the compaction of fine-grained sediment such as mud or clay.
Is mud stone an organic sedimentary rock?
Yes
Type of sedimentary rock made from compacted mud?
Mudstone is a type of sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction and cementation of mud or clay particles. It has a fine-grained texture and is typically composed of silt and clay-sized particles. Mudstone is commonly found in marine environments and is a relatively soft and easily eroded rock.
Second stage soft brown rock formed by layers of sand and mud that covers peat?
The second stage soft brown rock formed by layers of sand and mud covering peat is likely shale. Shale is a sedimentary rock composed of clay minerals and is formed from the compaction of mud or silt over long periods of time. It is commonly found in sedimentary basins where layers of organic matter like peat are buried and compressed.
What is a rock called that is made out of sand and mud?
Shale is the answer to this question :) i am 100% sure so don't second guess 0.0
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is made of hardened sediment?
Sandstone, claystone, limestone, or various other type of sedimentary rocks. That answer is WAY wrong the correct answer would be a sedimentary rock.
Rock formed by mud sand or clay?
Sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments such as mud, sand, or clay that have been compressed over time. Examples include shale, sandstone, and mudstone.
What is a turbidite?
sedimentary Rock formed from a rapid, subaqueous sand or mud flow.
Which sedimentary rock is formed when clay and mud undergo compaction and cementation?
shale
Why is mudstone a sedimentary rock?
It is made from sediment that has collected, mud is considered a sediment
