Answer:
 The radius of the earth is more than 6000 km. to reach the centre of ther earth, we have to dig a hole to this depth, which is impossible.
Q (ii). Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment.
Answer:
 Rocks breakdown into small fragments under various conditions. These fragments, called sediments, are transported by wind and water. Layers of sediments are formed when loose sediments are compressed and hardened. These layers of sediments thus form sedimentary rocks.
Q (iii). Limestone is changed into marbles.
Answer.
 Igneous and sedimentary rocks change their form under great pressure and temperature conditions to form metaphoric rocks. The same thing happens with limesone, which under the effect of heat and pressure change into marble, which is an example of metamorphic rocks.
