1. igneous rocks: formed by the cooling and hardening of magma (molten rock) from inside Earth. 2. sedimentary rocks: formed by the compaction and cementing of layers of sediment (rock fragments, plant and animal remains, minerals from water) 3. metamorphic rocks: formed by the effect of heat and pressure on other rocks. *Earthâs crust is made-up primarily of igneous rocks.
The three main types, or classes, of rock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous and the differences among them have to do with how they are formed. Sedimentary Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. Together, all these particles are called sediment. Gradually, the sediment accumulates in layers and over a long period of time hardens into rock. Generally, sedimentary rock is fairly soft and may break apart or crumble easily.
