Expert Solution

Step 1

The rocks are primarily of three types- igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. The rocks are composed of various minerals. Igneous rocks are formed due to magma's solidification, while sedimentary rocks are formed from diagenesis and lithification of the sediments. Metamorphic rocks are formed under temperature and pressure conditions.
