Answer:

Igneous---

  • Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. ...
  • Igneous and metamorphic rocks make up 90–95% of the top 16 km of the Earth's crust by volume.
  • The structures of igneous rocks are large scale features, which are dependent on several factors like: (a) Composition of magma.(b) Viscosity of magma. (c) Temperature and pressure at which cooling and consolidation takes place. (d) Presence of gases and other volatiles

Sedimentary---

  • The sedimentary rock cover of the continents of the Earth's crust is extensive, but the total contribution of sedimentary rocks is estimated to be only 8% of the total volume of the crust.
  • Sedimentary Rocks formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water
  • fossils are most commonly found in sedimentary rock.
  • Structures in sedimentary rocks can be divided into 'primary' structures Structures are always large-scale features that can easily be studied in the field.
