temperature
Earth's surface and inside the planet slowly change rocks from one kind to another.
Four processes are compaction and cementation, metamorphism, and cooling.
It would have to be melted into the earths magma and cool down as either intrusive (inside the earth) or extrusive (on the Earth's crust) igneous rock.

Igneous rock forms when melted rock (magma) from inside the Earth cools.

The molten rock that is found inside the earth is usually simply called magma. It becomes lava after it leaves the volcano at the surface of the earth.
The type of rock that forms deepest inside Earth is known as igneous rock. This type of rock is created from the solidification of magma deep within the Earth's crust or mantle. Examples of igneous rocks that form deep inside the Earth include granite and basalt.
The molten rock inside the Earth is called magma. When magma reaches the surface, it is called lava.
