These rocks form when really hot melted rock cools down and becomes solid. When this melted rock is underground it is called magma when it is above ground we call it lava.
Igneous
Sedimentsry
Metamorphic
These rocks form when tiny bits of stuff like mud, sand, or broken shells get stuck together over a long time.
Metamorphic
Igneous
Sedimentary
These rocks form when an existing rock changes because it gets really hot was under a lot of pressure.
Sedimentary

The process of how rocks form and how one type of rock can change into another type is called the ?
Rock formation process
Rock cycle
