Rock Formation and Classification Guide

Learn about rock characteristics and formation processes categorized into types such as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Understand how to identify different rock types like slate, granite, limestone, and more. Differentiate between foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks, intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks, and clastic, organic, and chemical sedimentary rocks. Explore the processes of weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation, as well as how sediments are formed and transform into rocks in the rock cycle. This comprehensive guide covers all you need to know about rocks.
