Expert Solution
Introduction

Rocks are solid materials formed as an aggregate of different minerals. Based on the mode of formation, the cooling of magma, erosion, deposition of sediments, or deformation of the original rocks can be classified as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Apart from these classifications, the rocks' individual properties and physical and chemical features can be used to classify the rocks further.
