... Are classified according to the way they form: 1. Igneous: formed from melted rock: magma/lava that has cooled 2. Metamorphic: squeezed and heated to high temperatures, when it cools and hardens it becomes metamorphic rock 3. Sedimentary: layers of clay, sand, mud, rock are squeezed together and sol ...
