Basalt has the highest density of the rock types mentioned.
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.
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).
Igneous: * Obsidian * Granite * Diorite * Gabbro * Pumice * Basalt Metamorphic: * Slate * Phyllite * Gneiss * Mica schist * Marble * Quartzite * Granulite Sedimentary: * Limestone * Sandstone * Shale * Chert * Mudstone * Chalk
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.
Basalt is a fine-grained, dark-colored volcanic rock that is rich in iron and magnesium minerals, formed from lava flows. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of clay minerals that have been compacted and hardened over time. Basalt is igneous in origin, formed from magma, while shale is sedimentary, formed from the accumulation of clay and silt particles.

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.
Basalt is a fine-grained, dark-colored volcanic rock that is rich in iron and magnesium minerals, formed from lava flows. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of clay minerals that have been compacted and hardened over time. Basalt is igneous in origin, formed from magma, while shale is sedimentary, formed from the accumulation of clay and silt particles.
Basalt would most likely be found on the ocean floor, as it is a common igneous rock formed from the solidification of lava. Shale, granite, and marble are all less likely to be found on the ocean floor, as they are sedimentary and metamorphic rocks that are not typically formed in marine environments.
Marble (metamorphosed limestone) Slate (metamorphosed shale) Gneiss (metamorphosed granite)
basalt, marble, shale one of these just choose nice and simple right !
