Basalt is an igneous rock . . . it is pretty much hardened lava.
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone and limestone), igneous rocks (such as granite and basalt), and metamorphic rocks (such as marble) are all used in masonry.
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.

Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)

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.

Feldspar is primarily an igneous rock-forming mineral, commonly found in intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks such as granite and basalt. However, feldspar can also be present in some metamorphic rocks as a result of the recrystallization of pre-existing feldspar minerals during metamorphic processes.
