Answer 2

ANSWER:

Sedimentary rocks make up the least part of the earth's crust.

EXPLANATION:

• The sedimentary rocks form a 'thin layer of the earth's crust' and form just about 5% of the crust.

• The metamorphic and igneous rocks cover about '95% of the earth's crust'.

• The sedimentary rocks are found near the 'surface of the earth' because these are formed by the processes that occur on the surface.

• The 'igneous and metamorphic rocks' are found in the 'earth's crust' because these are formed by processes that take place deep inside the earth.
