Where was shale formed?
Shale forms in layers of sandstone or lime.
Rocks formed from shale?
Shale can metamorphose through heat and pressure into slate.
What is a metamorphic formed from shale?
Slate
What is sedimentary rock formed by deposit of shale?
Slate is the metamorphic rock, formed from regional (heat and pressure applied) metamorphism on shale.
Is granite formed from the metamorphism of a shale?
No. The metamorphism of shale forms slate. Granite is formed when high-silica magma cools underground.
Is a rock called shale formed from the skeletons of the ancient coral animals?
No, shale is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of silt and clay particles. It is not formed from the skeletons of ancient coral animals, which are typically preserved in rocks such as limestone.
What is slate formed by?
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.
What is a dark sedimentary rock formed by compression of layers of clay-rich sediment?
Shale is made from layers of mud and clay pressed together. :)
What is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale?
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
What sedimentary rock is formed from thin layer of clay compacted very tightly together?
This is Shale, a Sedimentary rock.
What is similarities between shale and slate?
Slate and shale have the same make-up. Slate is formed from sedimentary shale by pressure and heat. Wet shale has the same smell that wet slate has.
Is slate a metamorphic rock which transforms from shale?
Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale.
