11-Sedimentary rocks are formed by sediment that is deposited over time, usually as layers at the bottom of lakes oceans.
* These rocks cover the majority of the Earth’s rocky surface but only make up a small percentage of the Earth’s crust compared to metamorphic and igneous types of rocks.
* These rocks form layers called strata which can often be seen in exposed cliffs.
* The word sedimentary has been derived from the Latin word sediments which mean settling.
* Examples of sedimentary rocks include limestone, greywacke, chalk, sandstone, mudstone, coal, claystone and flint.
12-Plutonic or intrusive rocks form when magma cools and crystallizes slowly within the Earth’s crust. A common example of this type is granite.
13-Volcanic or extrusive rocks form from magma reaching the surface either as lava or fragmental ejecta, forming minerals such as pumice or basalt.
14- The Igneous rocks are formed due to cooling and solidification of hot and liquid materials (lava or magma).
* The word igneous has been taken from the Latin word ignis which means fire.
