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.
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.
