No.
Limestone does not belong, as it is primarily composed of calcite, while the other three - shale, sandstone, and basalt - are all composed of different mineral compositions (clay minerals, quartz, and basaltic minerals, respectively).
Basalt has the highest density of the rock types mentioned.
It doesn't. They have different chemical compositions. Limestone is CaCO3. Basalt is mainly SiO4 and Fe. There is however an igneous rock composed predominantly of carbonate minerals known as carbonatite. This tends to form at zones of continental rifting. It isn't basalt however!
In the question "which does not belong; shale, basalt, sandstone, or limestone?" the answer is Basalt. Shale, Sandstone, and Limestone are all sedimentary rocks. Basalt is an Igneous rock. Shale and Sandstone are both clastic sedimentary rocks which means they come from the "pieces" or remains of rocks after weathering. Limestone is a chemical sedimentary rock which means it is deposited as a result of a chemical reaction, or a collection of material made by organisms, such as coral. volcanic basalt dykes are molten basalt that rose through existing sedimentary rock, and crystallized when it rose to the surface about 32 million years ago. The magma cools and hardens which creats a basalt stack, resistant to weather. Basalt is a common extrusive volcanic rock.It color is usually gray or close to black.
Yes, both basalt and limestone are commonly found in the Earth's crust. Basalt is a common igneous rock found in oceanic crust, while limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from the skeletal remains of marine organisms. Both types of rocks are abundant and play important roles in Earth's geology.

Basalt does not belong because it is an igneous rock formed from volcanic activity, while shale, sandstone, and limestone are sedimentary rocks formed from different processes such as compression of sediment or accumulation of organic materials.
Granite, Limestone, Shale, Bedrock, Basalt, Igneous, Pumice
Probably limestone. :)
They used basalt in ancient Egypt to make walls for protection!
