Slate is primarily weathered through a combination of physical weathering processes, such as frost action and abrasion from wind-blown particles, as well as chemical weathering caused by reactions with water and acids. This can lead to the gradual breakdown of the mineral composition of slate, causing it to flake or crack over time.

There are three main types of slate rock based on their color and composition: black slate, red slate, and green slate. Black slate is the most common type, formed from shale, while red slate gets its color from iron oxide. Green slate is typically formed from chlorite or other minerals containing green pigments.
Slate is an electrical insulator. Slate is not a conductor of electricity.
Yes, slate is harder than shale. Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that has undergone more intense heat and pressure than shale, a fine-grained sedimentary rock. As a result, slate is more durable and resistant to erosion compared to shale.
Slate is natural.

Pyrite is weathered by both exposure to sunlight and to rain or temperature variations. The mineral is relatively easily weathered.
things that erode weathered rock
Yes. Slate can be recycled.
At school it was normal to write with a slate penicil on a piece of slate (the slate pencil could be make of clay, soft slate, soapstone or chalk). The main advantage of slate was that it the marks could be erased and the slate could be reused.
