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!
What else can I help you with?
Which does not belong shale limestone sandstone or basalt?
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).
Can basalt turn into limestone?
Basalt is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of magma, while limestone is a sedimentary rock mostly composed of calcium carbonate. In order for basalt to turn into limestone, it would need to undergo weathering and erosion processes that break it down into sediment, which then gets compacted and cemented to form limestone. This transformation would require significant geological processes and time scales.
What is the densest rock basalt limestone marble or shale?
Basalt has the highest density of the rock types mentioned.
Which does not belong shale basalt sand stone or limestone?
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.
Is basalt and limestone found in th earth's crust?
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.

What are two rocks that can be found in the earths crust?
Basalt and limestone.
Types of stones used for construction?

When limestone is squeezed at a convergent boundary it forms what new rock?

Can a marble rock change to a basaltic rock if washed into the ocean?
No, marble is made by heating and squashing limestone while basalt is produced out of volcanoes. One can not change into the other by immersing it in sea water.
What does not belong and why shale basalt sandstone limestone?
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.
What Are Some Of The Name Of Stones?
Granite, Limestone, Shale, Bedrock, Basalt, Igneous, Pumice
What is most common type of extrusive rock?
Probably limestone. :)
