    Solution :

     Basalt is a dark-colored, fine-grained, igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals. It most commonly forms as an extrusive rock, Granite is a light-colored Intrusive igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface. Sandstone (sometimes known as arenite) is a classic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism.
