Which of the following rocks would most likely be found on the ocean floor?

Question

granite
marble
shale
basalt

Answer 1

Basalt would most likely be found on the ocean floor. It is a volcanic rock that forms from the solidification of magma and is commonly associated with mid-ocean ridges and other geological features found beneath the ocean. The other rocks listed (granite, marble, and shale) are typically found in continental settings rather than on the ocean floor.
