Detailed explanation-1: -Igneous rocks are formed from melted rock deep inside the Earth. Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sand, silt, dead plants, and animal skeletons. Metamorphic rocks formed from other rocks that are changed by heat and pressure underground.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two different ways that rocks are often classified; the first is based on the processes by which they form, in which rocks are classified as either sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Rocks are also commonly classified by grain or crystal size.
Detailed explanation-3: -Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors. Conditions like these are found deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet.
