Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. Sedimentary is produced by river sediments compacted into hard rock by years of pressure. Igneous rock is formed by lava cooling down when it reaches the surface. Metamorphic rock comes from Igneous, Sedimentary, or other Metamorphic rocks and is defined as rock that has been changed from some other rock, called a protolith, by years of heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface.
