Easily split rock is a term used to describe three types of sedimentary rocks: shale, SCHIST, and SLATE. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals and tiny fragments of other minerals, such as quartz and calcite. SCHIST is a medium-grained metamorphic rock that is made up of large flakes of mica minerals. SLATE is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that is composed of clay or volcanic ash that has been compressed and heated. All three of these rocks can be easily split into thin layers due to their composition.
