give one use each for metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary rocks
Answers
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). Pumice and basalt are both extrusive igneous rocks. Pumice is used in building work as breeze blocks or lightweight concrete, and pumice was one of the favoured building materials of the Ancient Romans. Today pumice is used in the cosmetic and cleaning industries.
The most common types of igneous rocks are:
andesite
basalt
dacite
dolerite (also called diabase)
gabbro
diorite
peridotite
nepheline
obsidian
scoria
tuff
volcanic bomb
Metamorphic — they are formed through the change (metamorphosis) of igneous and sedimentary rocks. They can form both underground and at the surface. Uses of Metamorphic Rocks. Quartzite and marble are the most commonly used metamorphic rocks. They are frequently chosen for building materials and artwork. Marble is used for statues and decorative items like vases
The most common metamorphic rocks are:
amphibolite
eclogite
gneiss
hornfels
marble
migmatite
phyllite
quartzite
serpentinite
slate
Sedimentary — they are formed through the solidification of sediment. They can be formed from organic remains (such as limestone), or from the cementing of other rock .Oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium, our major energy resources, are formed in and come from sedimentary rocks.
Sand and gravel for construction come from sediment.
Sandstone and limestone are used for building stone.
Rock gypsum is used to make plaster.
Limestone is used to make cement.
Salt is used for flavoring.
Some common sedimentary rocks are:
argillite
breccia
chalk
chert
claystone
coal
conglomerate
dolomite
limestone
gypsum
greywacke
mudstone
shale
siltstone
turbidite

One of the uses of metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary rocks are :
Metamorphic rock
- They are used for building materials and artwork
Igneous rock
