1. classify the rock products into the three types of rock in the table.

igneous sedimentary metamorphic

Explanation:

To classify rock products into the three rock types (Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic), we use their formation processes:

• Igneous Rocks: Form from cooled magma/lava (e.g., granite, basalt).
• Sedimentary Rocks: Form from sediment deposition/cementation (e.g., sandstone, limestone).
• Metamorphic Rocks: Form from existing rocks altered by heat/pressure (e.g., marble, slate).

First, identify the rock products (not shown here, but assume typical examples). For each product, match to its formation type:

• If formed from magma/lava → Igneous.
• If formed from sediment layers → Sedimentary.
• If formed from rock alteration → Metamorphic.

Answer:

To complete the table, classify each rock product as follows (example entries, assuming typical rocks):

Igneous	Sedimentary	Metamorphic

(Note: Replace with actual rock products from the problem’s context. If specific products are provided, match their formation to the correct category.)
