Explanation / Answer

In above given data it is visible that the thermal conductivity of the basalt is less than the thermal conductivities of the sand saturated , and granite , marble means basalt can pass or conduct heat current from its one side to another less readily than these, and the thermal conductivity of the basalt is higher than the air, water it means it can conduct or pass heat current more readily in between the two points than the air and water, conduction of the heat can be done by the vibrations of the particles of the materials.

specific heat capacity is the amount of the heat which a material can store in it or in detail it is the amount of the energy require to increase the temperature of any substance of mass 1 kg by 1 Kelvin.Given that the basalt has its specific heat capacity is less than the specific heat capacity of water and saturated sand only, this means that the basalt cant store that much amount of the heat that the water and saturated sand can store of same mass and by raising the same temperature, in other word

if we take 1 kg sample of basalt , water , saturated sand and to heated these so that temperature should be increades by 1K then the amount of heat require will be highest for water and then for sand and then for basalt

The specific heat capacity of basalt is greater than the specific heat capacity of marble air, granite , this means that the basalt can store much amount of the heat than the marble, granite, air can store of same mass and by raising the same temperature, in other word

if we take 1 kg sample of basalt , air , granite, marble and to heated these so that temperature should be increases by 1K then the amount of heat require will be highest for granite and then for marble and basalt both and then at last for air which is nearly negligible
