Write a summary of the the three types of rocks and how they are formed?
igneous rocks are formed by cooling lava from volcanos. Obsidian is an igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed by particles being deposited by water. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed when heat, pressure, and chemical reactions change existing rocks. Granite is a metamorphic rock.
In which type of rock are fossils least likely to occur?
Fossils would not likely be found in rock other than limestone, sandstone, and shale, or rock such as marble that has morphed from these sedimentary rocks. Fossils can basically be find in most Sedimentary rocks, but not in Igneous rocks because they are formed in volcanoes.

Is sedimentary rocks formed the same way normal rocks are?

What are the three types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic Sedimentary Rock- Sedimnetary rocks formed from fragments of rocks cemented together by minerals such as calcite.Chemical Sedimentary Rock- Sedimentary rocks formed from a solution of minerals (such as halite) and water.Organice Sedimentary Rocks- Sedimentary Rocks formed from the remaints of dead sea animals and seashells.
