2.2 Definition
Hyaloclastite is an aggregate of fine, glassy debris formed by the sudden contact of hot, coherent magma and cold water or water-saturated sediment
Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock which is formed by the compaction of silt and clay-size mineral particles

9.1 Formation
Hyaloclastite is a type of Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of lava or magma.
Shale forms when very fine-grained clay particles are deposited in water which settle at the bottom of water bodies. They are later compacted hence forming shale.
