The rocks found in Manipur are predominantly sedimentary. Sedimentary rocks are formed when pieces of other rocks are broken down and transported by water, wind, or ice. They are then deposited in layers and compacted over time. Sedimentary rocks can be classified into three main types: clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from the pieces of other rocks that have been broken down. Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed when minerals precipitate out of water. Organic sedimentary rocks are formed from the remains of plants or animals.
Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth’s surface. Lava is magma that has reached the Earth’s surface. Igneous rocks can be classified into two main types: intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth’s surface. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed when lava cools and solidifies on the Earth’s surface.
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to heat and pressure. The heat and pressure can cause the rocks to change their shape, texture, and composition. Metamorphic rocks can be classified into two main types: foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered appearance. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a layered appearance.
The rocks found in Manipur are predominantly sedimentary. This is because Manipur is located in a region that was once covered by a shallow sea. The sediments that were deposited in this sea eventually turned into sedimentary rocks.
