How can yoy differentiate Slate from shale?

Expert Solution

SLATE	SHALE
Slate is a low-grade metamorphic rock that generates from the metamorphism of shale.	Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock consist of silt and clay.
Slate when it comes in contact with water it gives earthy smell.	Shale when it comes in contact with water it is orderless.
Slate is not porous not permeable	Shale is highly porous but not permeable.
Slate is lacks of fisibility but contains fracture of joint.	Shale show fisibility.
This is a foliation bearing rock.	This is a non-foliated rock

The foliation of Slate is called Slaty cleavage	Shale some time shows bedding cleavage as it deposited in very low energy condition.
The Slate has used in roofing of roof.	No economic used but sometime placer Dimond host the shale stratigraphic rock

Whenever you are getting confused with shale and slate in the field than just put some water over the sample and smell it carefully. If the sample gives an earthy smell (the smell of a road after rain) than it is Slate .

f Nokia decided to embrace the change and move from the old slate (Nokia phones in 2005) to the future slate (smartphones similar to apple and Samsung smartphones in 2020), bearing in mind the lesson learned stated in the last page in the case, propose suitable levers throughout Lewin’s three phases of managing change which in your opinion could have saved Nokia from failure. The levers should cover the four organisational subsystems. (at least 2 levers in each subsystem).

Fullerton Aggregate processes raw shale into lightweight aggregate material. This process requires heat treating shale and injecting it with fly ash as it passes through rotating kilns. The shale both expands and hardens in the process, and is ideally suited to road construction. The following information is available for a recent period: Beginning work in process on September 1 consisted of 75,000 tons that were 80% complete with respect to raw materials and 50% complete with respect to conversion costs....
