Answers
Answer:
The two main categories of igneous rocks are extrusive and intrusive. Extrusive rocks are formed on the surface of the Earth from lava, which is magma that has emerged from underground. Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet.
Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth's surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth. The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification.
If the original igneous and sedimentary rock is subjected to heat (greater than 150 degree Celcius) and pressure (greater than 1500 bars), it changes into new a new type of rock. ... The new rock type is called metamorphic rock
