fredd [130]

I would sort them into the categories of metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock, and igneous rock.

Igneous rocks are made from the cooling and solidifying of lava or magma. Pumice is one of these rocks, it's made from lava being thrown out of volcano, and rapidly cooling. Obsidian and granite the other igneous rocks in the list.

Sedimentary rocks are made from the sedimentation of smaller particles. Coquina limestone is one of these - it's made from the sedimentation of the shells of dead animals.

Metamorphic rocks are rocks which are created by extreme heat and pressure. Essentially, they used to be a different kind of rock, and now they're metamorphic rocks. Gneiss and soapstone are both metamorphic rocks.

So here are your final answers:

Igneous: Granite, Obsidian, Pumice

Sedimentary: Coquina limestone

Metamorphic: Gneiss, Soapstone

Hope this helped!

attashe74 [19]
Climate change in South Africa is leading to increased temperatures and rainfall variability. Evidence shows that extreme weather events are becoming more prominent due to climate change.This is a critical concern for South Africans as climate change will affect the overall status and wellbeing of the country, for example with regards to water resources. Just like many other parts of the world, climate research showed that the real challenge in South Africa was more related to environmental issues rather than developmental ones.
