The 3 main classification of rock, which are metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary,  and the differences amongst them is related to how they are formed..

Explanation:

  • The formation of igneous rocks happens by the cooling of the magma/molten rocks (rock deep within the earth) .
  • The formation of sedimentary rocks takes place ( formed from particles of pebbles, shells, sand,  and other fragments of material which occurs from the sediments), that is, when they solidify, or through weathering/cementation on the surface of Earth.
