Static friction - the friction that occurs when a force is being applied on a still object.

Sliding friction - the friction that occurs upon a moving object; it is always lower than the static friction of the same object.

Rolling friction - the friction on a rolling object; it is actually a form of static friction with the contact point of the wheel with the surface.
