Igneous

• They are a result of volcanic activity at plate boundaries in the past, It is formed when molten rock from underground spills out onto the surface and cools and crystallises.

• Layers of sediments are deposited and compressed over long periods of time until they form rocks. These layers contain organic matter like dead plants and animals. that's why fossil are found within them

• Rocks that have been changed in shape and formed by intense heat and pressure
