Generation

# The Three Types of Rocks **Igneous rocks** form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies, either underground or after a volcanic eruption—think of granite countertops or volcanic basalt. **Sedimentary rocks** develop when layers of sediment (like sand, mud, or shells) get compressed and cemented together over time, often visible as distinct layers in formations like sandstone or limestone. **Metamorphic rocks** are created when existing rocks are transformed by intense heat and pressure deep within Earth without melting completely, causing minerals to recrystallize into new forms—marble (transformed limestone) is a classic example.
