You would divide them into how the rocks were formed.
Pumice
, granite and basalt are all made from molten material that has since cooled. These rocks are called
igneous rocks
the other two are made up of
bits and pieces
of other rock that have been cemented together. These are called clastic sedimentary rock.

How are sandstone and siltstone alike and different?
Both sandstone and siltstone are clastic sedimentary rocks formed by broken fragments of rock being deposited and then turned into solid rock by heat and pressure. The main difference is in grain size. Sandstone has larger grains than siltstone.
How are sandstone and siltstone differ from one another?
Both are sedimentary rocks, but the size of the grains in siltstone is smaller than those in sandstone.
