• Igneous Rocks are formed when magma is cooled and harden.

• Intrusive Igneous Rocks are cooled and harden beneath the Earth where Extrusive Igneous Rocks are hardened as lava is cooled on the surface.

• Classification: Texture and composition is used to classify Igneous Rocks.

• Sedimentary Rocks are formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted, and cemented.

• Classification: These rocks are grouped into clastic sedimentary rocks and chemical sedimentary rocks.

• Metamorphic Rocks are formed by the alteration preexisting rock by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids called hydrothermal solution.

• Classification: By texture and composition. It can be Foliated or Nonfoliated.
