Select the main difference between the three types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
Select the main difference between the three types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
Tap to reveal answer
The main difference between the types of rocks is how the rocks are formed.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from small particles of materials, such as sand or pebbles.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from changes in heat and pressure under the earth's surface.
Igneous rocks are formed from magna cooling and hardening.

What type of rock could be made out of sand and shells?
Tap to reveal answer
Both sand and shells are small materials. A sedimentary rock is formed from small materials, such as sand and shells; thus, sedimentary is the correct answer.
