Question

how would you describe the characteristics of each rock type?

Answer 1

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).

Metamorphic — they are formed through the change (metamorphosis) of igneous and sedimentary rocks. They can form both underground and at the surface.

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 rocks.

Hope it helps u.

Answer 2



The three main types, or classes, ofrock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous and the differences among them have to do with how they are formed. Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. Together, all these particles are called sediment.
