There are three types of rock - igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

Igneous rocks formed directly from magma (molten rock flowing under ground) or lava (molten rock flowing above the crust). Granite is an example of what forms as magma cools slowly over a very long time, and obsidian forms when lava cools quickly, such as from contact with ocean water.
