What type of sedimentary rock is impermeable?
Shale is the type of sedimentary rock that is impermeable.
Can basalt turn into shale?
yes But basalt is a volcanic rock and shale is a sedimentary rock. I think basalt cannot turn into shale.
What does not belong and why shale basalt sandstone limestone?
Basalt does not belong; it is an igneous rock and all the rest of them are sedimentary.
Sedimentary rock often used to make concrete and build highways?
Basalt
What underlies the unconsolidated sediments of the sea floor?
Probably consolidated sediments (sedimentary rock), then the rock basalt.
Is basalt a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
What type of sedimentary rock is impermeable?
Shale is the type of sedimentary rock that is impermeable.
Can basalt turn into shale?
yes But basalt is a volcanic rock and shale is a sedimentary rock. I think basalt cannot turn into shale.
What is an organic biogenic sedimentary rock - basalt coal sandstone or conglomerate?
Coal is the only rock on the list which is an organic / biogenic sedimentary rock. Sandstone and conglomerate are both clastic sedimentary rocks and basalt is a mafic extrusive igneous rock.
Is basalt igneous sedimentary metamorphic?
Basalt is an igneous rock . . . it is pretty much hardened lava.
What does not belong and why shale basalt sandstone limestone?
Basalt does not belong; it is an igneous rock and all the rest of them are sedimentary.
How can basalt become part of a sedimentary rock?
It has to first be eroded into relatively small particles (sediment) and then cemented together again.
What is the difference of basalt and shale?
I know that limestone reacts to acid and shale does not. Also Limestone is Chemical sedimentary rock while Shale is Detrail(Spell?)
Sedimentary rock often used to make concrete and build highways?
Basalt
What underlies the unconsolidated sediments of the sea floor?
Probably consolidated sediments (sedimentary rock), then the rock basalt.
Which type of rock forms when sediments become pressed and cemented together?
When cemented together, clastic sedimentary rock.
