Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,
  • Igneous — they form from the cooling of magma deep inside the earth. They often have large crystals (you can see them with the naked eye).
  • Metamorphic — they are formed through thechange (metamorphosis) of igneous and sedimentary rocks. They can form both underground and at the surface.
  • Sedimentary — they are formed through the solidification of sediment. They can be formed from organic remains (such as limestone), or from the cementing ofother rocks.
