For the purpose of classification of rocks Valerie classified rocks on the basis of their formation.
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.
- Metamorphic rocks are generally formed under the Earth's surface from the metamorphosis (change) which takes place because of intense pressure and heat (squeezing).
