Yes, clay can crack under intense heat, especially if it is not properly prepared or fired. Rapid temperature changes can cause thermal shock, leading to cracks. Additionally, if the clay contains impurities or is not sufficiently dense, it may be more susceptible to cracking during the firing process. Proper firing techniques and gradual heating can help minimize this risk.
The rock you are referring to is shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of compacted clay and silt particles. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, shale can undergo metamorphism and transform into slate. This process of metamorphism causes the clay minerals in shale to recrystallize, resulting in the characteristic foliated texture of slate.
Metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks sedimentary or igneous that change their form under intense heat and or pressure.
Produced under conditions involving intense heat, igneous rock is rock formed by solidification from a molten state, especially from molten magma. an igneous rock is a lava rock that has cooled!
Lungfish survive intense heat and and in active state called extivation
Over millions of years, clay-like material that falls to a lake bottom is subject to intense pressure and heat. This results in an incredibly slow and gradual process of change. The clay-like material will transform into a sedimentary rock, such as shale or mudstone. These rocks are composed of particles of clay and other minerals that have been cemented together as a result of the pressure and heat. The sedimentary rock will also contain fossils and other evidence of the organisms that were present at the time the clay-like material was deposited. This is because the process of sedimentary rock formation preserves and encases the fossils and other organic material that was present in the clay-like material when it was deposited. Thus, after millions of years of pressure and heat, the clay-like material that fell to a lake bottom is transformed into a sedimentary rock containing fossils and other evidence of past life.
They are iron, so with enough heat, they will melt. Because of the nature of cast iron, they will probably crack and break before they melt.
His skin blistered under the intense heat.
Heating clay pebbles in a microwave can be risky as they may crack or explode due to uneven heat distribution. It's safer to heat them in an oven following manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the pebbles are completely cool before using them in a weighted blanket for dogs.
When you heat clay it turns into a pot
heat which can cause base materials with higher clay contents (e.g. some gravel) to dry in summer and crack

The term for clay that is hardened by heat is "ceramics."
Applying a blue flame from a Bunsen burner to pottery can potentially cause the pottery to crack or break due to the rapid temperature change. The intense heat from the flame can also cause the pottery to discolor or change in texture. It is important to heat pottery slowly and evenly to avoid these issues.
Metamorphic rocks are formed by rocks sedimentary or igneous that change their form under intense heat and or pressure.
Glass is a better insulator of heat compared to clay. Clay transfers heat more efficiently due to its higher thermal conductivity.
The best way to make homemade clay firm is to heat it up. You can heat the clay up in an oven.
Heat will first cause the glass to expand, which normally shatters it from its frame. Even higher heat may cause it to melt (it is already an amorphous solid). Even higher heat (3000 degrees C) can cause it to vaporize.
