Basalt does not belong; it is an igneous rock and all the rest of them are sedimentary.

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).


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.

Which group of rocks does shale sandstone and limestone belong to?

Shale, sandstone, and limestone belong to the sedimentary rock group. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and compression of sediment over time. Shale is a fine-grained rock formed from clay and silt; sandstone is made up of sand-sized grains cemented together; and limestone is primarily composed of calcite from marine organisms.
