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.
Does Hawaii import sand?
yes!hawaii is formed by volcanic activity which produces islands made of basalt. when basalt erodes it is very fertile but it does not erode to sand. Sedimentry rocks produce sand and these are not found on volcanic islands. So, yes, Hawaii imports most of it's sand from Australia and i think even china.

Why is it necessary to rinse sand with water twice?
Rinsing sand with water twice helps remove any remaining debris, dirt, or impurities from the sand. The first rinse removes larger particles, while the second rinse ensures a thorough cleaning to prepare the sand for use in a tank or project. This process helps to maintain water quality and clarity in aquariums or other applications.
