Sedimentary Rock
Metamorphic Rock
IGNEOUS ROCK
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors. they are often exposed on the surface of the Earth. This happens due to geologic uplift and the erosion of the rock and soil above them.
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation It is most likely to find sedimentary rocks near sources of water, which is where a lot of erosion takes place. You can find different types in riverbeds, ponds and coasts and throughout the oceans..
lgneous rocks form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface. You can found them in the deep of the ocean, in many volcanos,earth's crust and in very hot zones
