Expert Solution
Introduction:

The Earth is made up of various kinds of rocks. These rocks begin their life cycle from the solidification of magma and complete their life cycle by melting down back into the magma. Rocks are essentially aggregates of minerals, and the rock type is defined by the composition of its constituent minerals.

There are three types of rocks:

  1. Igneous rocks
  2. Metamorphic rocks
  3. Sedimentary rocks
