Long

Ques-1 write a brief note on the groups of rocks.

Ans- rocks are divided into three groups

1. Igneous rock

2. Sedimentary

3. Metamorphic rock

1. Igneous rock- igneous rock are one of the oldest rock on the Earth. these rocks are formed by the cooling and depositing of molten Rock material called magma the magma lies in the core of the earth and is pushed upward by the pressure of other rocks.

Ex- granite rocks ,scoria rocks ,pumice rocks and obsidian rocks

2. Sedimentary rocks- rain wind rivers and flowing water carry out erosions of Rock on mountains these Rock pieces are carried by water to the seas and the ocean on the land and deposited in the layer. Repeated depositions presses down the lower layer and hardened them into rock

        Ex- sandstone rocks ,limestone rocks , shale Rock       gypsum rock.

3. Metamorphic rock - these rocks are formed by the transformation of existing Rock under heat and pressure into a new rock with the different chemical composition they are mostly formed below the earth's crust.

ex - marble, slate ,quartzite and gneiss.

Ques-2 complete the following table.

Granite	Making buildings, statue
Pumice	Body scrubber, polish the floor
Limestone	Bricks and glass
Conglomerate	Construction work
Shale	Bricks and tiles
Gypsum	Plaster of paris ,moulds
