Rocks are typically categorized into three main types based on their formation process:
1. **Igneous Rocks:** Formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Igneous rocks can be further classified into two subtypes:
- **Intrusive Igneous Rocks:** Formed underground as magma cools slowly, allowing large crystals to form. Examples include granite and diorite.
- **Extrusive Igneous Rocks:** Formed on the Earth's surface as lava cools rapidly, resulting in smaller crystals or even glassy textures. Examples include basalt and obsidian.
2. **Sedimentary Rocks:** Formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments, often in layers, over long periods of time. Sedimentary rocks are categorized into three main groups:
- **Clastic Sedimentary Rocks:** Formed from the accumulation of rock and mineral fragments, such as sandstone and shale.
- **Chemical Sedimentary Rocks:** Formed from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions, such as limestone and rock salt.
- **Organic Sedimentary Rocks:** Formed from the accumulation and compression of organic materials, such as coal and some types of limestone.
3. **Metamorphic Rocks:** Formed from the alteration of existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) through heat, pressure, or chemical processes without melting. Metamorphic rocks can be further classified into two subtypes:
- **Foliated Metamorphic Rocks:** Exhibit a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains, such as slate and schist.
- **Non-foliated Metamorphic Rocks:** Lack a layered or banded appearance and have mineral grains that are not aligned, such as marble and quartzite.
These categories provide a broad overview, and there are numerous specific rock types within each category, each with its own distinct characteristics and formation processes.

6. Do you need longer texts?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and
the smallest one in the entire Solar System.
This planet's name has nothing to do with the
liquid metal, since Mercury was named after
the Roman messenger god. Despite being
closer to the Sun than Venus, its
temperatures aren't as terribly hot as that
planet's. Its surface is quite similar to that of
Earth's Moon, which means there are a lot of
craters and plains
Speaking of craters, many of them were
named after artists or authors who made
significant contributions to their respective
fields. Mercury takes a little more than 58 days
to complete its rotation, so try to imagine how
long days must be there! Since the
temperatures are so extreme, albeit not as
extreme as in Venus, and the solar radiation is
so high, Mercury has been deemed to be non-
habitable for humans
