Slate.
Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
gneiss
Phyllite is a type of metamorphic rock, not a mineral. It is formed from the metamorphism of shale or mudstone and has a fine-grained texture with a silky sheen due to the alignment of its minerals.
The sedimentary rock gets transformed into metamorphic rock under the heat and pressure of mountain-building processes. Examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and schist from shale.
It is a Sedimentary rock
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. They are formed when existing rocks undergo high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize into new forms with different characteristics.
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
shale
No, slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed by shale
The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
Yes, slate is a foliated metamorphic rock formed from the sedimentary rock shale.
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.
gneiss
Slate is the metamorphic rock formed from shale. A pile of mud can turn into shale (a fine-grained sedimentary rock) with relatively low pressure, about 3 mi (5 km) down into the earth. With more pressure and some heat, shale can transform into slate. Metamorphic rock found closer to Earth's surface, or produced by low pressure, characteristically splits or flakes into layers of varying thickness. This is called foliation. Slate is often used as roofing tiles and paving stones.
yes, slate is metamorphic rock
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
