  • There are many different kinds of rocks which are grouped under three families on the basis of their mode of formation. They are: -
  • Igneous Rocks  - Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust.
    • ​The two main categories of igneous rocks are extrusive and intrusive
      •  Extrusive rocks are formed on the surface of the Earth from lava, which is magma that has emerged from underground. example-pumice, obsidian, andesite, rhyolite, and basalt.
      • Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet. example-Diorite, granite, pegmatite

Additional Information

  • Sedimentary Rocks — Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface, followed by cementation. example-sandstone, limestone, and shale.
  •  Metamorphic Rocks —Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock to new types of rock, in a process called metamorphism. example- phyllite, schist, gneiss, quartzite and marble.​
