i. Rocks formed from lava have small mineral pieces are called fine-grained.
ii. Igneous rocks formed from slowly cooling magma are called coarse-grained.
2-Sedimentary rock: A type of rock formed by layers of sediments that were squeezed and
stuck together over a long time.
Ex:
Limestone Sandstone
Shale
Conglomerate

Examples of Sedimentary rock: {Conglomerate, Limestone, Sandstone and Shale}.
