The three types of rocks are (a)_________,(b) __________ and (c)____________.
The three types of rocks are (a)_________,(b) __________ and (c)____________.
Depending upon the conditions under which rocks are formed, they are classified into three types:
- Igneous rocks
- Sedimentary rocks
- Metamorphic rocks
Igneous rocks: Rocks formed by the solidification of volcanic eruptions are called igneous rocks. Examples of igneous rocks are basalt and granite.
Sedimentary rocks: Rocks formed by the accumulation of sediment's and compression of the lower layers over long periods of time are called sedimentary rocks. For Example, sandstone, limestone etc.
Metamorphic rocks : The rocks formed by the transformation of igneous or sedimentary rocks into different kinds of rocks under intense heat and pressure are called metamorphic rocks. For examples marble, slate etc.
Concluding statement
The three types of rocks are (a) igneous,(b) sedimentary and (c) metamorphic.
