Metric mearues are easy to work out! I litre of water weighs 1kg, 1,000 litres weighs 1000kgs (i.e a metric ton). 1 cubic metre of water is 1,000 litres so it weighs a ton.
All other materials can be compared to this (i.e the 'relative' density or specific gravity). The relative density of soil is 1.8 so it weighs 1.8 times more than water for the same volume, therefore 1 cubic metre of soil weighs 1.8 tons. A solid lump of cork on the other has a relative density of 0.24 so it weighs 0.24 tons per cubic metre. One cubic metre of steel weighs 7 times more than the same volume of water so it weighs around 7 tons. Concrete, similar to solid rock comes in at around 2.5, so it weighs 2.5.
To answer the question - sub base has a relative density of loose, dry gravel is 1.9 so a cubic metre will weigh around 0.9 tons.
There are many places online that will give you a list of fifferent relative densities for materials of al sorts.

What does a cubic yard of base rock weigh?
According to Florin Perkins Quarry in Sacramento Ca. Aggregate Base Weight is 1.92 tons per CY and their Recycled Aggregate Base is 1.89 per CY. The weight is pretty consistent. These products are checked once a year.
What are other three units derived from the SI base unit for length?
Square meter, cubic meter, diopter (= 1/meter). Then, of course, there are derived units that include the meter together with other units - this can be said of most SI units - such as meter/second (for speed), meter/second2 (for acceleration), newton for force (mass x acceleration), work or energy (force x distance), etc.

What is the base unit for volume in the international system of units?
The cubic meter.
What is the metric unit for length mass and volume?
The units for volume are the units for length cubed. For example, the base unit is the meter, and the cubic meter is the basic unit of volume.
What are the units measurement of hardcore filling?
Hardcore filling is a layer of solid material that engineers use to support the foundation and base of a building or road. The units of measurement for hardcore filling are usually tons or cubic meters. A ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, and a cubic meter is the volume of a cube with sides of one meter.
