What are the kinds of earth rocks on earth?
The three main types of rocks on Earth are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation and compaction of sediment particles. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have undergone changes in temperature and pressure, often deep within the Earth's crust.
Does the Earth have Moon rocks?
Rocks were brought back to the Earth from the various Moon landings the Americans undertook. No other rocks from the Moon are on Earth. The Moon was formed from the Earth - so, if anything, there are Earth rocks on the Moon.
Which type of rocks are most abundent on earth?
Igneous rocks are the most common type of rocks on earth.
Why there are no sedimentery rocks on earth crust?
The Earth's crust does have sedimentary rocks in it's structure - limestone, slate, chalk, are three examples of commonly found sedimentary rocks.
Why can't geologists use rocks from earth to learn how long ago earth formed?
Geologists can't use rocks from Earth to determine the planet's age because those rocks have all been recycled through the rock cycle over time. This means that the original rocks from when Earth formed no longer exist. Instead, geologists use radiometric dating of rocks from Earth's surface to estimate its age.
Difference of lunar rocks and earth rocks?
Lunar rocks are those forming the Moon - as the word 'lunar' says. Earth rocks are formed on Earth - but the rock forming the Moon is also a constituent of the Earth.

Moon rocks resemble rocks from what layer of the earth?
Moon rocks resemble rocks from the Earth's crust layer. They are predominantly composed of igneous rocks like basalt and anorthosite, similar to those found on Earth's crust.
How are moon rocks similar to and different rocks on earth?
Minerals that make up moon rocks are the same minerals that are found on Earth. Some moon rocks have minerals that combine to form kinds of rocks that are not found on Earth. BlueStar(:
Why are Moon's rocks so simalar to earth's rocks?
The moon used to be part of the earth
What are igneous rocks that form on earth surface?
igneous rocks that form on earth's surface
What are the 3 types of rocks that make up the earth's crust?
The three main types of rocks that make up the Earth's crust are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediment. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rocks under high pressure and temperature.
Only a small number of earth's minerals are commonly found in rocks what does this fact indicate?
This fact indicates that the majority of Earth's minerals are not commonly found in rocks, and may exist in other forms such as in solution or within the Earth's mantle. It also suggests that the minerals found in rocks are more stable and resistant to weathering and erosion processes.
