Step-by-step explanation:
Rocks are formed from aggregates of minerals. There are three different types of rocks and they are formed by different processes. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of magma within or on the earth crust. Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks by the lithification of sediments brought into a basin of deposition. Metamorphic rocks are changed rocks that have been mineralogically altered.
- Different rocks form under specific conditions and environment.
- But rocks are connected to one another through the rock cycle.
- The rock cycle shows that rocks can transition from one form to another.
