Explanation
Minerals are deposited in sedimentary rocks (layered rocks). Sedimentary rocks are formed when the debris obtained from the breaking and weathering of rocks remains deposited in water. Remains of organisms and plants are found in them in very small quantities. By the metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, rocks such as slate, marble, gneiss, etc. are formed. (260) ## Page 9 ## Volcano
