8. What are Igneous and sedimentary rocks
9. What is a Volcano? Mention it's types?
Answers
Answer:
8) The solid Earth (the mantle and crust) is made of rock. ... There are three general types of rocks, those that form from melt (igneous rocks), those that are deposited from air or water (sedimentary rocks), and those that have formed by "cooking" or otherwise altering another rock (metamorphic rocks).
9) There are three main types of volcano - composite or strato, shield and dome. Composite volcanoes, sometimes known as strato volcanoes, are steep sided cones formed from layers of ash and [lava] flows. The eruptions from these volcanoes may be a pyroclastic flow rather than a flow of lava.
Explanation:
8. Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air, or by precipitation of minerals from water.
9. A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
