(1) Igneous and sedimentary rocks
Ans:<\/strong><\/p>

Igneous rocks<\/strong><\/p><\/td>

Sedimentary rocks<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr>

(1) Igneous rocks are rocks formed by cooling and solidifying of molten materials.<\/p>

(2) Igneous rocks are hard and homogeneous.<\/p>

(3)\u00a0 Examples: Basalt, pumice<\/p><\/td>

(1) Rocks that are formed through deposition and<\/p>

\u00a0compaction of sediments, especially rock particles<\/p>

transported by rivers, glaciers, wind, etc are called<\/p>

\u00a0sedimentary rocks.

<\/p>

(2) Sedimentary rocks are generally brittle and<\/p>

light weight.

<\/p>

(3) Examples: Sandstone, limestone<\/a>, shale, corals<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

(2) Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
Ans:<\/strong><\/p>

Sedimentary rocks<\/strong><\/p><\/td>

metamorphosis are called metamorphic rocks.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

(2) One may find fossils in sedimentary rocks.<\/p>

(3) Sedimentary rocks are brittle and light weight. Examples: Shale, corals<\/p><\/td>
