IGNEOUS refers to rocks that originate in the interior of the Earth, and include the various volcanic types and the granite group of rocks. There is a 1:1 correspondence between the granite types of rock, and the volcanic ones - it depends upon whether they have been melted or not. Granites usually have well differentiated crystals, and are hard.
SEDIMENTARY rocks are those that have result from the weathering of the above igneous rocks, and in general are deposited as fine-grained sediments at sea, and this will eventually form rocks.
METAMORPHIC rocks are generally formed from sedimentary rocks that have been subjected to heat and pressure. Consequently, the mineral assembly will differ from that of the sedimentary, new minerals will be formed, and shear and folding are common. The degree of metamorphism varies depending on the burial pressure and temperatures. In the extreme of melting, then granites will result if the cooling is very slow, or volcanics will form if the rock is ejected in the molten state.
Marble is a curious metamorphic rock in that it may be formed from the hard bodies of tiny marine animals, but with a low degree of metamorphism, often fossils may still be recognized. At extreme metamorphism, it will become a matrix mainly of CaCO3.
All three rock types, sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic, are composed of minerals.
The three main types of stress in a rock are shearing, tension, and compression.

yes there is if you got a science book use it any kind of science book
the rock cycle includes what three types of rocks
Clay, silt, and sand are the three types of weathered rock particles found in soil.
metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary
The two main types of science are natural sciences, which study the physical world (e.g. biology, physics, chemistry), and social sciences, which study human behavior and society (e.g. psychology, sociology, economics).
the different types of crystal are sugar salt and rock.
