Question

Which layer is made of soft rock?

Answer 1

The layer made of soft rock in Earth's geological structure is typically the **sedimentary layer**. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of mineral and organic particles, and they often have a softer texture compared to igneous and metamorphic rocks. Examples of sedimentary rocks include limestone, sandstone, and shale. These layers can be found near the Earth's surface and are generally less dense and more porous than the underlying layers, such as metamorphic or igneous rock layers.
