Igneous rocks are formed from magma or lava. Igneous rocks are the building blocks for creating other rocks.

How does the formation of extrusive igneous rock differ from that of intrusive igneous rock?

Extrusive igneous rocks are formed from lava on the surface, and they cool very quickly, which makes them smaller. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma underground, and take longer to cool, which means they are bigger.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from small broken-up rocks: Igneous and metamorphic or other sedimentary rocks, and they can also be formed from parts of organisms. Sedimentary rocks can be found in a variety of places lakes, oceans, and riverbeds.

The three different kinds of sedimentary rocks:

Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from fragments of different sizes of rocks and minerals.

Organic sedimentary rocks are also called biological sedimentary rocks, because they are made up of organic materials, like animal or plant debris.

Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from precipitated minerals from water, which can be either inorganic or organic.

Metamorphic rocks form when heat and pressure are applied to the rock, and this pressure changes the whole appearance of the rock

Characteristics of foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks.

Foliated metamorphic rocks: This type of metamorphic rock has a layered appearance, which is formed by heat and pressure.

Non-Foliated metamorphic rocks: This type of metamorphic rock doesn't have a layered appearance, but it has a marbled-like appearance and is formed by pressure, but the minerals are unable to align, which causes the marbled appearance.
