Which does not belong shale limestone sandstone or basalt?
Basalt. Shale, Sandstone, and Limestone are all sedimentary rocks
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?)
Is granite gneiss marble limestone shale or basalt an igneous rock?
These are sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is made of compressed grains of rock and sand. Shale is made of compressed bits of mud and clay. Limestone is made of compressed pieces of forms of calcium carbonate.
What is the protolith of a quartzite?
Quartzite--sandstone. Marble--limestone. Slate--shale. Gneiss--basalt or granite.
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.

What Are Some Of The Name Of Stones?
Granite, Limestone, Shale, Bedrock, Basalt, Igneous, Pumice
5 varieties of rocks?

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.
Does clay turn into limestone or marble?
Clays would become shale, then metamorphose into slate with heat and pressure.
Which rocks are metamorphic rocks?
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
