Slate is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary or igneous rocks are exposed to conditions of very high pressure or temperature, or are exposed to large amounts of very hot water.Slate is formed when fine-grained sedimentary rock (shale) is buried and exposed to high pressure deep beneath the Earth's surface.gneous rocks are formed from melted rock that has cooled and solidified. When rocks are buried deep within the Earth, they melt because of the high pressure and temperature; the molten rock (called magma) can then flow upward or even be erupted from a volcano onto the Earth's surface.
As a patient with COPD, your health care provider may determine your oxygen levels at rest, while sleeping, or during exercise to see if oxygen may help you. If your oxygen levels are low, oxygen therapy will help reduce the strain on your heart, brain, and muscles, and using oxygen as directed may help you feel better.
What are the Benefits of Oxygen Therapy? In addition to helping prevent heart failure in people with severe lung diseases, such as COPD, supplemental oxygen has many benefits. For example, some studies have shown an increase in survival rates in patients who use oxygen more than 15 hours a day.
