Question

Give the Latin names of Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic rock

Answer 1

Answer:

Igneous rocks get their name from the Latin word "ignis", which means fire. They are indeed born from fire or from the magma of the Earth.

Sedimentary rocks get their name from the Latin word "sedimentum" which means a settling.

Metamorphic comes from the Latin words for changed form, and refers to rocks that formed by changing pre-existing rocks with heat, pressure, or chemical activity that occurs under conditions of heat and pressure.
