3. Shale
4. Calcite
5. Igneous rocks.
6. Skin scrubber, dental abrasive.
7. Remains of dead plants or animals in rocks.
8. Sandstone
9. Limestone
10. Used for making surgical blades.

 

Section D:

1. Igneous rocks are formed by cooling and hardening of magma. Example: Granite.
2. Sandstone is formed by cementing sand particles; used in building monuments like Red Fort.
3. Magma is molten rock inside Earth; lava is molten rock on the surface.
4. They contain fossils and are sources of fuels like coal and petroleum.
5. Granite is coarse-grained, hard, light-coloured; used for buildings and flooring.

 

Section E:

1. Sedimentary rocks are formed when wind, water, or glaciers carry sediments that settle in layers. Over time, pressure hardens them into rocks. They often contain fossils.
2. Pumice is a volcanic rock with holes, making it very light. It floats on water and is used in scrubbing, polishing, and construction.
