Question

Place the following words under the correct heading.

granite, sandstone, basalt, coal, marble, quartzite, limestone, obsidian, gypsum, gneiss, slate, dolerite

Igneous rock	Sedimentary rock	Metamorphic rock

Accepted Answer

Cooling and solidification of molten magma, whether it occurs beneath the Earth's surface or on the surface, lead to the formation of igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediment (such as sand, mud, and organic material) over long periods of time.

Metamorphic rocks are formed when pre-existing rocks, either igneous or sedimentary, undergo a complete change in their form and characteristics due to extreme heat and pressure.

Examples of different types of rocks under them:

Igneous rock Sedimentary rock Metamorphic rock

granite gypsum marble

dolerite coal slate

basalt limestone gneiss

obsidian sandstone quartzite
