  • Sedimentary Rocks: Identifying Shale Among Slate, Granite, and Pumice
    The answer is Shale. Here's why:

    * Sedimentary Rocks: Formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments (like sand, silt, clay, or fragments of other rocks).

    * Slate: Formed from the metamorphism of shale (meaning it was once sedimentary rock).

    * Granite: An igneous rock, formed from the cooling and crystallization of magma.

    * Pumice: A volcanic rock, also igneous, formed from frothy lava.
