Schist is a medium grade sheet-like grain rock, whereas slate is hard and fine-grained rocks with a salty cleft that is caused by the formation of minerals as a result of the metamorphic of the grain ground rocks.

<h3><u>What is slate?</u></h3>
  • Through low-grade regional metamorphism, slate is transformed from an original shale-type sedimentary rock made of clay or volcanic ash into a fine-grained, foliated, homogenous metamorphic rock. It is the foliated metamorphic rock with the finest grain size.
  • Foliation may occur in planes that are not parallel to the direction of metamorphic compression and instead line up with the original sedimentary layers.
  • Slate's foliation is known as "slaty cleavage." Strong compression is what causes fine-grained clay flakes to grow back in planes perpendicular to the compression, which is what causes it.
  • Many slates exhibit a feature called fissility when carefully "cut" by striking parallel to the foliation, with a specialized tool in the quarry. This results in smooth flat sheets of stone that have long been used for roofing, floor tiles, and other purposes.

Because of its extremely tiny grain size and flat grains, phyllite has a particularly sparkly texture. The largest grain size is seen in schist. Schists are made up of scales, whereas phyllite has a foliated texture.

  • Muscovite and biotite are two minerals that are frequently found in micas and produce the parallel, extremely fine-grained flakes of rock that are seen in igneous rocks with feldspar and quartz.
  • Phyllite, schist, gneiss, and slate are the rocks with the lowest grades, respectively.

Who is primarily responsible for bearing the cost of immigration (e.g. providing services, enforcement, health care, education,
Ira Lisetskai [31]

The answer is: state governments

When the immigrants come into united states, they will settle on the states and will most likely have to settle to find a job in that states.

Because of this, the number of employment in that states could be threaten if the increase in the amount of workers far surpassed the increase in the amount of job opportunities.  The state government would be the one that is responsible to bear such challenge.
