Bedrock is commonly referred to as the rock that lies right beneath the earths surface. Bedrock is different from other rocks because usually the surface just above the rock can warn away due to things such as the weather, which causes it to break and sometimes change in color.

Why is igneous rock called a mother rock?
Igneous rock is called a "mother rock" because it is the primary rock type from which other types of rocks are formed. When igneous rocks undergo weathering and erosion, they break down into sediments that can be lithified to form sedimentary rocks. Additionally, igneous rocks can be subjected to heat and pressure, leading to their metamorphism into metamorphic rocks. This process of igneous rocks being the origin or "mother" of all rock types is why they are referred to as such.
Do minerals contain two or more types of rocks?
No. it is flipped a rock contains two or more types of minerals
How many different types of rocks are there in the world?
There are three different rock types which are called igneous; rocks formed by the cooling of lava and magma (molten rock), sedimentary; rocks formed when weathered particles of other rocks and fossils are compacted and cemented together at the bottom of rivers and the sea and metamorphic; formed when other rocks are changed by heat and pressure underground. There are many individual rocks within each of these categories.
What is a collection of events that changes rock into different forms of rock?
The process by which rocks are transformed into different types of rocks due to high temperature and pressure is called metamorphism. This collection of events can lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks such as marble, schist, and gneiss.
How many different types of rock are there?
There are three main types of rock: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Each type forms through different processes, such as cooling and solidification for igneous rocks, deposition and lithification for sedimentary rocks, and heat and pressure for metamorphic rocks.
How does the sedimentary rocks change into other types of rocks?
by the rock cycle :)
Do sedimentary rocks have different types of rocks mixed in them?
Sedimentary rock does have different type of rock because when shells,sand, and soil pick up and become rock that combination can make 100 different types of rocks because of the minerals,size,and shape.
Can a rock be a metamorphic rock?
when the heat hits the different rocks its combinded with other rocks
What are different types of sedimentary rock?
Coal and Sandstone are two types of sedimentary rocks.
Pictures of the different kinds of rocks?
Check the link below for pictures of rocks and rock types.
Do different types of rocks erode at different rates?
depends on conditions and type of rock
Why are there so many types of rocks?
Different rock are made by the many different events that lead to their creation. Other rock just have different amounts and types of minerals, creating different rock with hardness, texture, color, and shape patterns.

What is the difference between the two types of metamorphic rocks?
how is metamorphic rock different than intrusive rock
How can a rock be metamorphic?
when the heat hits the different rocks its combinded with other rocks
Do minerals contain two or more types of rocks?
No. it is flipped a rock contains two or more types of minerals
How do intrusive rocks relate to below ground?
Intrusive rocks are formed when rock is squeezed into underground cavities in other types of rock, where it crystallizes.
