What sedimentary rock does shale turn into?
Slate is metamorphosed shale.
Is shale igneous metamorphic sedimentary?
It is a Sedimentary rock
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
What sedimentary rock does granite turn into?
Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten magma. It does not directly turn into a sedimentary rock through metamorphism. Instead, it can be weathered and eroded to form sediment, which may then become sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation processes.
What is a common parent rock for slate and gneiss?
Shale is a common parent rock for both slate and gneiss. Slate forms from the metamorphism of fine-grained sedimentary rocks like shale, while gneiss forms from the metamorphism of various rock types including shale.
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
Is slate and gneiss the same thing?
No, but slate and gneiss are both a type of metamorphic rock. Slate will also turn into Gneiss, eventually, if metamorphosing continues. The series is Shale (sedimentary) >> Slate (metamorphic) >> Phyllite >> Schist >> Gneiss
What sedimentary rock does shale turn into?
Slate is metamorphosed shale.
Is shale a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock?
shale is a sedimentary rock
Describe the metamorphism of shale and the rock sequence involved in that metamorphism?
Shale undergoes low-grade metamorphism to form slate, then phyllite, schist, and finally gneiss as metamorphic grade increases. This sequence is a result of increasing temperature and pressure conditions during metamorphism, leading to the formation of different minerals and textures in the rock. The progression from shale to gneiss represents a range of metamorphic grades and the increasing intensity of metamorphic processes.
Does shale form from gneiss?
It can, indirectly. Shale is a sedimentary rock. Like many rocks, gneiss can be weathered down to very fine particles to the point that it becomes clay or silt. Those particles can then settle on the bottom of a body of water as mud. Under the pressure of burial, that mud can become shale. However, gneiss can also form from shale. Under long exposure to enormous heat and pressure shale will becomes slate, further heating and pressure will turn slate into phyllite, phyllite into schist, and schist into gneiss.
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
Is shale sedimentary-metamorphic or igneous?
It is a Sedimentary rock
Is shale igneous metamorphic sedimentary?
It is a Sedimentary rock
What metamorphic rock does shale and ganite turn into?
Shale typically turns into slate, while granite can metamorphose into gneiss.
What kind of rock is formed from the metamorphic of shale?
The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.
When shale is exposed to heat and pressure this metamorphic rock is formed?
gneiss
