Sedimentary rocks: Rock formed when chemical reactions cement sediments (small, solid fragments of rocks and other materials) together, hardening them.
Igneous rocks: Rock that forms from molten rock (hot magma thats cools and hardens).
Metamorphic rocks: Igneous/sedimentary rock that has been changed into a new kind of rock as a result of great pressure and temperature.
Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
The three types of rocks involved in the rock cycle are igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten magma, sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and lithification of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from pre-existing rocks that are subjected to high heat and pressure.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
The three main types of rocks are igneous, formed from cooling lava or magma; sedimentary, formed from compressed layers of sediment; and metamorphic, formed from existing rocks that undergo high heat and pressure.

Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
