Igneous Rock:
3 Examples for Igneous Rocks:
About 95% part of earth's crust is made up of igneous rock. Even earth's moon is made up of igneous rock. The lightest rock on the earth, Pumice rock is also an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are helpful in the growth of plants because they contain many minerals which can help a plant to grow.
Pegmatite, Basalt, Obsidian, ect.
Use for Pegmatite:
These are used to make components for electronic devices, retardation plates, circuit boards, optical filters, detector windows, and many other products.

Use for Basalt:
Basalt is mainly used for structural building materials such as bricks, tiles, foundations and sculptures, as well as within stonewalls for thermal purposes and rail tracks.

Use for Obsidian:
Obsidian has been used across history to make weapons, implements, tools, ornaments, and mirrors.

Where it's found:
either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust

Sedimentary Rocks:
3 Examples for Sendimentary Rocks:
Garnet Amphibolite, Marble, Deformed Conglomerate, ect.
Sedimentary rocks are one of three main types of rocks, along with igneous and metamorphic. They are formed on or near the Earth’s surface from the compression of ocean sediments or other processes.
Use for Garnet Amphibolite:
use as an aggregate in highway construction and as a ballast stone in railroad construction.
use as an aggregate in highway construction and as a ballast stone in railroad construction.
Use for Marble:
used to build roads, foundations of buildings, and railroad beds.
used to build roads, foundations of buildings, and railroad beds.
Where it's found:
Sendimentary Rocks are found the ocean to deserts to caves.
Sendimentary Rocks are found the ocean to deserts to caves.
Use for Deformed Conglomerate:
used as a fill material for roads and construction.
used as a fill material for roads and construction.

Metamorphic Rocks:
3 Examples for Metamorphic Rocks:
schist, gneiss, quartzite, ect.
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rock is transformed physically or chemically at elevated temperature, without actually melting to any great degree.
Use for Quartzite:
used in road construction and for railway ballast.
used in road construction and for railway ballast.
Use for Gneiss:
used for flooring, ornamental stones, gravestones, facing stones on buildings and work surfaces.
used for flooring, ornamental stones, gravestones, facing stones on buildings and work surfaces.
Use for Schist:
used in building houses or walls.
used in building houses or walls.
Where it's found:
Metamorphic rocks can be found deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet.
