Answer:

Shale

Explanation:

  • Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock that is created from mud that is a mixture of clay mineral flakes and microscopic shards of other minerals, often quartz and calcite (silt-sized particles).
  • Shale is distinguished by its propensity to fracture into thin layers (laminae) with a thickness of less than one centimetre. Fissility is the name for this quality. The most prevalent sedimentary rock is shale.
  • Instead of the more specific definition of clay-rich fissile mudrock, the term "shale" is occasionally used more generically as a synonym for mudrock.
  • Shales are generally grey in colour and contain quartz and clay elements. The hue of the rock is changed by the addition of various quantities of minor components.
