Just to say: This question refers to rock groups. Not what type of rock.Igneous rocks make up most of the earth's crust.


What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?

The most common type of rock found at the Earth's surface and in the Earth's crust are sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments such as sand, mud, and organic debris. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's surface.


Are you more likely to see sedimentary rocks on the surface or deep in earth's crust?

Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)

What makes up about 95 percent of the rocks in earths crust?

Igneous and metamorphic rock make up 95% of the rocks in Earth's crust. Only a thin layer is made up of sedimentary rock.


What percent of the earth's crust is sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary rock; this is because the earth is constantly going through the rock cycle and both igneous rock and metamorphic rock have a lot to deal with under the earths surface and sedimentary rocks doesn't it just builds and builds over time which creates 75% of rock the covers the earth surface.
