a rock formation contains many visible layers. the formation is most likely to be made of which type of rock?
a. sedimentary rock
b. extrusive igneous rock
c. intrusive igneous rock
d. metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and compaction of sediments over time, resulting in visible layers. Igneous rocks (extrusive and intrusive) form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava and generally do not have distinct layering like sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre - existing rocks that are changed by heat, pressure, and chemical processes, and their layering is different from the characteristic layering of sedimentary rocks.
