Question

What kind of images are made by painting or drawing on top of the surface​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Long before writing was developed, people recorded events, ideas, plans, and feelings by marking them on a rock. Sometimes they carved into the stone. Sometimes they scratched off a surface coating. Sometimes they painted on the rocks. The method that they used was typically determined by the availability of a "paint," the hardness of the rocks, and the availability of tools that could be used to produce their message.

All of these markings are referred to as "Rock Art." People worldwide have been producing rock art for thousands of years. Some of their messages, produced thousands of years ago, can still be seen today. The oldest are usually found in rock shelters and caves where they are protected from the elements. However, in arid climates some examples of rock art have persisted for ten to fifteen thousand years, depending upon how the art was produced, the direction that it faces, and the type of rock used as a "canvas."

Answer 2

Answer:

Rock art is the right answer

Explanation:

Before the implementation of the writing through books, traditionally writing was done on rocks. Many people used to curve stones and at times scratching the surface coating and painting it with stones. The methods that were used were usually determined by the paint availability, the nature of the rocks and the tools that were available to convey the message.

The markings therefore were called rock art. Most people across the world used stones n marking and passing their messages to different people.
