They are all formed from minerals.

Sedimentary rock.
Extrusive-formed on surfaceIntrusive-formed underground
Extrusive igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of magma above ground.
At some level, almost all rock is layered. From the first cataclysmic events through periods of glaciation and warm inland seas, layer after layer of rocks have been laid down--one on top of the other. Stratigraphy, the study of layers, is one of basic ways that geologists answer the question "what happened?". There are three kinds of rock: igneous; sedimentary and metamorphic. Of the three, sedimentary rocks are the most obviously layered because they are formed by layers of mud and/or sand.
They are: Sedimentary rocks metamorphic rocks igneous rocks
It is called this because it is formed from different kinds of sediment.
There are three kinds of rock in the world: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary are the three types of rocks. Sedimentary is formed when layer of mud or silt build up gradually. Igneous is formed when molten magma cools. Metamorphic is formed when a type of rock changes to another type
A metamorphic rock.
There are three types of Rocks, Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary.
