Rocks
Most Common Types
Sedimentary
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface
Igneous
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten rock material. Some form below Earth's surface. Some form on or above Earth's surface. We describe these two basic types: Intrusive igneous rocks crystallize below Earth's surface, and the slow cooling that occurs there allows large crystals to form.
Metamorphic
Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock to new types of rock, in a process called metamorphism. The original rock is subjected to temperatures greater than 150 to 200 °C and, often, elevated pressure, causing profound physical or chemical changes.
