Shale is a type of rock that breaks easily into thin layers. It can be found in many colors like gray, black, and brown. People use shale to make bricks and tiles.
The Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock, often appearing in shades of gray, black, or reddish-brown. It distinctively breaks into thin, parallel layers or flakes, making it look like stacked sheets of paper.
