Answers
Answer:
A. Igneous rocks have a wide variety of uses. One important use is as stone for buildings and statues. Diorite was used extensively by ancient civilizations for vases and other decorative artwork and is still used for art today (Figure 1). Granite (figure 2) is used both in building construction and for statues.
B. Metamorphic rocks have been on Earth for millions of years. They can be different shapes, sizes, and colors. Metamorphic rocks are used to make buildings, jewelry, powders, and other things. They are an important part of our world.
C. Sedimentary rocks are economically important in that they can easily be used as construction material because they are soft and easy to cut. Sedimentary rocks often form porous and permeable reservoirs in sedimentary basins in which water and important minerals such as oil can be found.
