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.
Variations in the ability of different types of rock to resist weathering and erosion cause the weaker types of rocks to be eroded away, leaving the more resistant types of rocks topographically higher than their surroundings. This process is called differential erosion. The most resistant rock types include sandstone, conglomerate, quartzite, basalt, chert, limestone, lava flows and sills. Lava flows and sills, in particular, are very resistant to weathering and erosion, and often form the flat top, or caprock, of a mesa.
