What are some igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks are made from magma. Magma is made of melted rocks. (When it is underground it is called magma, when it erupts on the surface of the earth, it is called lava. It's the same material though.) When magma/lava cools, it forms igneous rocks. There are many types of igneous rocks and the specific type of igneous rock can vary according to which minerals are present in the melted rock, how fast it cools, and the presence of things like water. Sedimentary rocks are made out of tiny pieces of debris. This can include tiny rocks, sand, clay, silt, and organic material. (Organic materials can vary from rotted leaves to tiny, shelled ocean creatures, or many other types of organic material.) These bits of material collect in an area, then through compaction and cementation, they stick together to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed when minerals are dissolved in water and are then resolidified. This type of sedimentary rock is called a chemical sedimentary rock. Oolitic limestone is a good example of this type of sedimentary rock.

What rocks are igneous sedimentary and metamorphic?
Igneous rocks are those formed by the solidification of magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of the sediments which accumulate from the erosion of preexisting rocks of all types. They also included rocks form from animal and plant remains. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary or igneous rocks are heated and or squashed.
How do geologists classify rock?
Geologists classify rocks into three groups. The first group are igneous rocks, the second are metamorphic rocks and the third are sedimentary rocks.
