Controlling mechanisms: The main mechanisms are lithification and low metamorphism.
Main processes: The processes that lead to shale being made start with plate tectonics forming up rock then later, sediment is eroded away down into different water sources like rivers, lakes, oceans, seas, and other sources. Then, the layers of sediment and death organisms build upon each other under pressure to form shale.
