Un schiste est une roche qui a pour particularité d’avoir un aspect feuilleté, et de se débiter en plaques fines ou «feuillet rocheux». On dit qu’elle présente une schistosité. Il peut s’agir d’une roche sédimentaire argileuse, ou bien d’une roche métamorphique. Quand celle-ci est uniquement sédimentaire, les géologues canadiens préfèrent utiliser le terme «shale» [afin d’éviter toute confusion avec le shiste métamorphique»]. 7, record 1, French, - schiste%20gaz%C3%A9if%C3%A8re
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme anglais «shale» (qui désigne une roche sédimentaire argileuse et porteuse de ressources gazières) pourrait se rendre par «schiste argileux». De la même façon qu’on est ensuite justifié de traduire «shale gas» par «gaz de schiste» (sans ajouter «argileux» ou «sédimentaire», puisque ce type de schiste est le seul à renfermer du gaz), on est justifié de rendre «gas shale» par «schiste gazéifère» (ou «schiste gazifère»). 4, record 1, French, - schiste%20gaz%C3%A9if%C3%A8re
