About this document
Understanding Rock Types and Formation by Jasmin Saricala is a document available to read on EtoBox.
There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments over time. Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks undergoing heat and pressure, causing changes in composition and mineral appearance.
