"Metamorphic and igneous rock make up the majority of the Earth's surface." is incorrect.
Explanation: Although igneous rocks form the oceanic crust and much of Earth's interior crust is igneous/metamorphic, the exposed surface of the continents is largely covered by sedimentary rocks (and soil, vegetation, water). Metamorphic and igneous rocks are common, but they do not make up the majority of the Earth's exposed surface.
