There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Each of these rocks are formed by physical changes—such as melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming —that are part of the rock cycle. Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other existing rock or organic material. There are three …Web

Obsidian is an igneous rock that forms when molten rock material cools so rapidly that atoms are unable to arrange themselves into a crystalline structure. It is an amorphous material known as a " mineraloid ." The result is a volcanic glass with a smooth uniform texture that breaks with a conchoidal fracture (see photo).Web
