ANSWER:

Scientist assist rocks into three different types, they make this classification on the basis of their process of formation.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The three classifications of rocks, scientists have given are sedimentary, igneous rocks and metamorphic.
  • The main difference between these rocks is the process of their formation.
  • The rocks that are formed from the sand particles are sedimentary rocks and that formed under the earth surface by metamorphosis process is metamorphic rock.
  • 'Igneous rocks' are formed when magma cools.
