Question

What are the three types of rocks found on the Earth?

Answer 1

1. Igneous Rocks: These are the primary rocks formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma from inside the earth. They are also called primary or parent rocks.
2. Sedimentary Rocks: These are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments on the earth’s surface. Sedimentary rocks are often layered or stratified, and they may contain fossils and fossil fuels.
3. Metamorphic Rocks: These rocks are formed from the transformation of existing igneous or sedimentary rocks due to high temperature, pressure, or both, causing changes in their mineral composition or texture.
