When magma makes its way to the Earth's surface as lava and then cools, it is said to have cooled and formed.
EXTRUSIVE ROCK
INTRUSIVE ROCK
INORGANIC
ORGANIC ROCK
It is formed as a result of magma activity and cools slowly beneath the surface of the Earth's surface.

EXTRUSIVE ROCK
INORGANIC ROCK
ORGANIC ROCK
The hardening and crystallization of magma or molten mineral are the processes that lead to the formation of this type of rock, according to this classification.
IGNEOUS ROCK
SEDIMENTARY ROCK
METAMORPHIC ROCK
PLUTONIC ROCK
This structure was built out of pre-existing rocks or fragments of a once-living organism that were found on the site.
IGNEOUS ROCK
SEDIMENTARY ROCK
METAMORPHIC ROCK
PLUTONIC ROCK
This type of sedimentary rock was formed as a result of the accumulation of clasts, which are small fragments of broken rocks or shells that accumulated over time.
CLASTIC ROCK
CHEMICAL ROC
INORGANIC ROCK
ORGANIC ROCK
This type of sedimentary rock is formed when minerals dissolved in a solution precipitate out of the solution.
CHEMICAL ROCK
ORGANIC ROCK
INORGANIC ROCK
CLASTIC ROCK
It is believed that this type of rock formed from previously existing rocks that had been altered by heat, pressure, and chemical processes during the formation process.
METAMORPHIC ROCK
SEDIMENTARY ROCK

When minerals are exposed to the environment, their coloration can change depending on how they are exposed.

DIAPHANEITY
LUSTER
This refers to the material's ability to allow light to pass through to the other side.

STREAK
TENACITY
When it comes to the structure of minerals, this is referred to as "lines of weakness."
CLEAVAGE

TENACITY
LUSTER
Stress causes a mineral to react in a specific way, which is reflected in the mineral's resistance to breaking, bending, or other forms of deformation when subjected to that stress.

This is the point at which new minerals bind the grains together (Just as cement binds sand grains and gravel together)
Cementation

Metamorphism
Compaction
This is the process of rocks being broken down.

Compaction
Metamorphism
Because of the weight of the rocks on top of the sediments that are deeply buried, sediments that are deeply buried are subjected to extreme pressure.
