Expert Solution

Step 1

The earth is composed of several types of rocks. Three types of rocks present on the earth are igneous rocks formed by the magma's direct cooling. The sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, and deposition of the sediments from the pre-existing rocks. The metamorphic rocks are formed by the solid-state transformation of the pre-existing rocks. Sedimentary rocks have layers present, and metamorphic rocks could be foliated as well as non-foliated.
