The correct answer is 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

/hint - 

  • Igneous Rocks are created from the interior of the earth by magma and lava. They are classified as main rocks as well. As magma cools and transforms into a solid shape in its upward motion, it is called igneous rock.

  • Granite, Gabbro, Pegmatite, Basalt, Volcanic, Breccia, and Tuff are examples of igneous rocks.
  • Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough for the unaided eye to be visible. It emerges from the gradual crystallization of magma below the surface of the Earth. Granite consists mostly of quartz and feldspar, with small quantities of mica, amphibians, and other minerals.
  • Breccia forms where broken, angular fragments of rock or mineral debris accumulate.
  • Gabbro is a phaneritic, mafic, intrusive igneous rock shaped into a holocrystalline mass deep beneath the Earth's surface by the gradual cooling of magnesium-rich and iron-rich magma.
  • Pegmatite formed underground, with interlocking crystals typically larger than 2.5 cm in size. Most pegmatites are located near large masses of igneous rocks called batholiths in sheets of rock (dikes and veins).
  • Basalt is a mafic extrusive igneous rock produced by the rapid cooling of magnesium- and iron-rich lava exposed to the surface of a terrestrial planet or moon or very close to it.

/key

  • There are three main types of rocks in the world: Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic. 
  • The most prevalent substance on the Planet is rocks; they typically lay on the ground everywhere. Most of the landforms constitute them, and there is a close relation between rocks and landforms.
  • A rock is an aggregation of one or more minerals merged into a solid lump. For example, the combination of the minerals quartz, feldspar, and biotite is granite, a popular rock.
  • The cooling and solidification process may occur in the earth's crust or on the earth's surface.
