Name the types of rocks with two examples of each?
ans. There are three types of rocks. They are: i. Igneous rock for example: granite, pumice. ii. Sedimentary rock for example: shale, sandstone. iii. Metamorphic rocks for example: gnesis, marble.
It’s the first thing you learn in a geology class — very briefly the three types of rocks are: Igneous — they form from the cooling of magma deep inside the earth. They often have large crystals (you can see them with the naked eye). Metamorphic — they are formed through the change (metamorphosis) of igneous and sedimentary rocks.
