What are the three formation of minerals?
There are three different kinds of rocks, depending on how they were formed. Igneous rocks formed when melted rock cooled and hardened. Sedimentary rocks formed in layers from bits of older rocks and parts of animals or plants. These collect in low areas or under water and harden into rocks. Metamorphic rocks formed when either sedimentary, igneous, or earlier formed metamorphic rocks were put under pressure and heat deep in the earth's crust.
Where and under what conditions are metomorphic rocks formed?
They can be formed just about anywhere but are commonly found near the sites of volcanos or places volcanos were once active. They are formed by other rocks put under heat and pressure.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
Are most sedimentary rocks formed under water?

Where are fossil fuels formed?

What happenes during each method to form intrusive igneous rocks?
