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.
When magma is cooled and hardened, it is an igneous rock. That being said, there's only three left and those three are the three types of rocks. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
The model that illustrates the origin of the three basic rock types is called the rock cycle. It shows how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are interrelated through processes like melting, cooling, weathering, and metamorphism.
All three rock types (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic) are formed in the Earth's crust, under extreme heat and pressure. They can go through cycles of being weathered, eroded, and reformed through the rock cycle. Each type plays a crucial role in the Earth's geological processes.
The three main types of stress in rock are compression (pushing together), tension (pulling apart), and shear (sliding past each other). These stresses can cause rocks to deform and break, leading to the formation of geological features like faults and folds.
The three types of weathered rock particles found in soil are sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, followed by silt, and clay particles are the smallest.

yes there is if you got a science book use it any kind of science book

no, the eaath is made of five different types of solid rock.
