Answers
Answer:
The earth’s crust is made up of various types of rocks.
Any natural mass of mineral matter that makes up the
earth’s crust is called a rock. Rocks can be of different
colour, size and texture.
There are three major types of rocks: igneous rocks,
sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.
When the molten magma cools, it becomes solid.
Rocks thus formed are called igneous rocks. They are
also called primary rocks. There are two types of igneous
rocks: intrusive rocks and extrusive rocks.
Can you imagine lava coming out from the volcanoes?
Lava is actually fiery red molten magma coming out from
the interior of the earth on its surface. When this molten
lava comes on the earth’s surface, it rapidly cools down
and becomes solid. Rocks formed in such a way on the
crust are called extrusive igneous rocks. They have a
very fine grained structure. For example, basalt. The
Deccan plateau is made up of basalt rocks. Sometimes
the molten magma cools down deep inside the earth’s
crust. Solid rocks so formed are called intrusive igneous
rocks. Since they cool down slowly they form large
grains. Granite is an example of such a rock. Grinding
stones used to prepare paste/powder of spices and grains
are made of granite.
