Rocks are rated on the on the Moh's Hardness Scale which rates the rocks on the scale from 1 to 10. Rocks with hardness 1-3 are soft rocks from 3-6 are medium hardness rocks and 6-10 are hard rocks. The hardness of Shale is 3 whereas its compressive strength is 95.00 N/mm 2. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak

ContactShale is a rock formed by the compression of clay during movement of the Earth’s crust. It is a type of sedimentary rock that is formed by extrusion, dehydration, recrystallization, and cementation of weak clay. It is called shale because it is stratified and easily delaminated. Shale is generally brown, gray, or black, with low hardness and
ContactShale is a rock composed mainly of clay-size mineral grains. These tiny grains are usually clay minerals such as illite, kaolinite, and smectite. Shale usually contains other clay-size mineral particles such as quartz, chert, and feldspar. Other constituents might include organic particles, carbonate minerals, iron oxide minerals, sulfide

Contact2020-3-22 Many of the sedimentary rocks that have small grains such as sand, tend to be quite soft and can be easy to break. The hard sediment is often made through large grained sediment and is difficult to break apart due to size. Sedimentary rock is made through the process of sediment cementing together to form rock.
