Generation

# Three Types of Rock **Igneous Rock** Forms from cooled and solidified magma or lava. Examples: granite (cooled underground), basalt (cooled at surface). **Sedimentary Rock** Forms from compressed layers of sediment—bits of rock, minerals, or organic material that accumulate over time. Examples: sandstone, limestone, shale. **Metamorphic Rock** Forms when existing rocks are transformed by intense heat and/or pressure without melting. Examples: marble (from limestone), slate (from shale). ## Common Misconception **"Metamorphic rocks come from melted rock"** - False! If rock melts, it becomes magma and will form *igneous* rock when it cools. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are "cooked and squeezed" but remain solid—they change texture and mineral composition without melting, like how bread becomes toast rather than melting into a liquid.
