There are many types of rocks because of different texture, and composition. For example, igneous rock is mostly consist of Iron and Nickel. Sedimentary consists of a lot of composition because it made up of the cementation of other rocks. Heat and pressure creates metamorphic rocks.

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.
