Caves do not form naturally in slate with the possible exception of sea-caves (and then would be inherently unstable) and shallow rock-shelters.
Slate mines (entirely artificial) can be very extensive but these are man-made.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
There are three main types of slate rock based on their color and composition: black slate, red slate, and green slate. Black slate is the most common type, formed from shale, while red slate gets its color from iron oxide. Green slate is typically formed from chlorite or other minerals containing green pigments.
A metamorphic rock.
No, slate is not magnetic. Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that is formed from the compression of mudstone and shale. It does not contain magnetic minerals that would make it magnetic.
The Maquoketa Caves in Iowa were formed millions of years ago by the dissolution of the local bedrock, primarily dolomite, by groundwater. Over time, this erosion process created the unique cave systems and features that are now part of the Maquoketa Caves State Park.
No. Most caves are formed out of limestone making that false.
Fissure, Talus, Solutional, Granite, Slate, Erosional, man-made, rare emerged Sea caves, Sea caves, and Sandstone caves.Most are created over millions of years by water dissolving minerals in the rock, leaving a void or hollow behind.
Yes, Marble is formed from Limestone, but not Slate.
No, slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed by shale
Slate
Slate is not typically formed from granite. Granite is a coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock, while slate is a fine-grained foliated metamorphic rock. Slate is often formed from shale or mudstone through low-grade metamorphism, where the minerals in the original rock recrystallize and align to create the characteristic foliation of slate.

Wookies live in trees, not caves.
The Maquoketa caves in Iowa were formed through years of natural non-glacial erosion.
Slate is formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone. This process involves intense heat and pressure which causes the shale to recrystallize into a fine-grained, foliated rock with excellent cleavage properties.
Slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed from the low-grade metamorphism of shale or mudstone. It is primarily formed from the compaction and recrystallization of clay and mud. Slate is typically formed deep within the Earth's crust, making it an intrusive rock.
