- Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma.
- Sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation and compression of sediment over time.
- Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
- Granite is a common type of igneous rock that forms from the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth.
- Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is often composed of the remains of marine organisms.
- Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone under high pressure and temperature.
- Basalt is another type of igneous rock that forms from the rapid cooling of lava on the Earth’s surface.
- Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that is made up of sand-sized grains cemented together.
- Slate is a metamorphic rock that forms from the alteration of shale or mudstone through low-grade metamorphism.
- Gneiss is a metamorphic rock that exhibits banded layers of different minerals due to intense pressure and heat.
