[amp_mcq option1=”Marble” option2=”Halite” option3=”Granite” option4=”Shale” correct=”option3″]

Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Granite is a common type of intrusive igneous rock, meaning it formed from magma that cooled slowly beneath the Earth’s surface.

– Igneous rocks are one of the three main rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic).
– They are formed directly from the cooling of molten rock.

Marble is a metamorphic rock, formed from the metamorphosis of sedimentary carbonate rocks like limestone or dolostone. Halite (rock salt) is a mineral that forms sedimentary deposits, particularly evaporites. Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock.
