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 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.
What ia a meamorphic rock?
slate, marble and gneiss
What is a kind of foliated metamorphic rock?
Slate
Which of the following is NOT an example of metamorphic rock marble gneiss slate shale?
Shale is not an example of metamorphic rock; it is a type of sedimentary rock. Marble, gneiss, and slate are examples of metamorphic rocks.
What are two common types of metamorphic rock?
shale slate gneiss
What are four examples of metamorphic rock?
Slate, hornfels, schist, gneiss.
The rock type which results from metamorphosed shale is?
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
Can you describe the 4 rocks formed by metamorphic grade which are Slate Phyllite Schist and Gneiss?
Slate is a low-grade metamorphic rock characterized by fine-grained foliated structure. Phyllite is intermediate-grade metamorphic rock with a greater degree of crystallization and foliation than slate. Schist is a medium-grade metamorphic rock with visible mineral grains and strong foliation. Gneiss is a high-grade metamorphic rock with distinct banding of light and dark minerals and high crystallization.
What metamorphic rocks are formed from mudstones?
Slate,schist,gneiss are the metamorphic rock formed from mudstone.
What major rock is foliated?
Slate, gneiss, schist. Metamorphic rocks. Just the foliated ones.
Why is slate used to make tiles and gneiss is not?
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.
