Geologists have classified rocks into three major groups of rocks which are:

• inorganic, organic and chemical rocks

• igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks

• metamorphic, chemical and non chemical rocks

• sedimentary, inorganic and igneous rocks

Any rock that forms from another rock as a result of changes in heat or pressure (or both) is a:

• chemical rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock begins with

• melting

• erosion

• deposition

• crystallization
