Answers
Answer:
The three. types of rocks are, igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.
Answer:
Sedimentary,Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks.
Explanation:
Sedimentary Rocks : Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface.
Igneous Rocks : Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust.
Metamorphic Rocks : Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form". The original rock is subjected to heat and pressure, causing profound physical or chemical change. The protolith may be a sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.
