Slate in comparison to a rood tile is flat and not of a uniform dimension.
Roof tiles can be made of terracotta, fired glazed clay or concrete-
They are made to a uniform pattern that overlaps and keys in to the
other tiles.

Slate is a natural material, quarried from sedimentary rock, they
tend to be very smooth and not overlap too much. Usually found on
older buildings, are rare on modern buildings unless they are in a
conservative area and need to fit in.

Tiles are moulded from clay and are designed to lock together and
overlap. Common on more modern buildings.

How are slate roof tiles totally different to roof tiles?
They are both manufactured to a certain size and laid in an
overlapping pattern?

Tiles are totally different to slates, I would never
consider a slate
to be a tile.
Other than being used for roofing, they are different and
easily
identified.
