Rocks have been here for millions of years so they didn't really just pop up. There are three main types of rocks, Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary. Igneous rock is rock formed when magma or lava cools or hardens. Metamorphic rock is rock formed when heat, pressure or fluids act on igneous, sedimentary or other metamorphic rock to change its form or composition. Sedimentary rock forms when sediments are compacted or cemented together or when minerals form from solution. Rocks are made from on or more minerals, volcanic glass, inorganic matter, orother natural material. So for rocks to have became there had to have been minerals first.
