Slate is a type of rock that splits easily into thin sheets due to its fine-grained structure and parallel alignment of mineral grains. This property makes slate a popular material for roofing tiles and decorative purposes.
Cleavage is when you can break the rock into square like pieces and Fracture is when you break a rock into uneven different shaped pieces.
Mechanical weathering.
Slate is the type of rock that splits apart in layers, usually gray or black in color. It is commonly used to make blackboards due to its smooth texture that allows for writing with chalk.
A fracture is when rock splits (cracks). A fault is when a fracture has slipped - movement either up, down or sideways.

The plural of split is splits. As in "the acrobat can do splits easily".
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that easily splits into thin layers, making it suitable for cutting into tiles. Gneiss, on the other hand, is a coarse-grained rock with a more irregular composition, which makes it harder to work with and less suitable for making tiles.

schist1795 (earlier schistus, 1601), from French schiste, from Latin schistos lapis "stone that splits easily" (Pliny), from Greek skhistos "divided, separated," from skhizein "to split". The rock splits easily in layers.
