Baikal rocks are formed from the dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution.
The sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material within bodies of water and at the surface of the earth.
Metamorphic rocks may be formed simply by being deep beneath the Earth’s surface, subjected to high temperatures and the great pressure of the rock layers above it.
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Baikal rocks are formed from the dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution.Key Points

Baikal rocks are actually formed from the solidification of magma or lava, not from dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution. -
Sedimentary rocks are indeed formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of material within bodies of water and at the surface of the earth.
Metamorphic rocks are formed by the alteration of existing rock types through heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids.
Igneous rocks are indeed formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Additional Information

Baikal rocks refer to the rocks found in the Baikal Rift Zone, a region of active tectonic activity in Russia.
Sedimentary rocks are the most common type of rock on Earth and include types such as sandstone, limestone, and shale.
Metamorphic rocks include types such as marble, slate, and gneiss and can be formed from sedimentary, igneous, or even other metamorphic rocks.
Igneous rocks can be intrusive (formed from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface) or extrusive (formed from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface).
