The answers would be:

Igneous Rocks - They are made from hot magma.

Sedimentary Rocks - They are made from

weathered pieces of rock.

Metamorphic Rocks - They are rocks, small or large

which reformed due to high temperature.

If you'd like to know more, read on:

Igneous rocks are formed when hot magma is cooled

and then it hardens into a rock. The word igneous

comes from the word, "ignis" which means "of fire.

They can be formed beneath the Earth or on the

surface.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from weathered

pieces of rock. These pieces are called sediments.

They can also be made out of other material. When

these sediments settle, it continues to do so until so

much sediment accumulate and they start to press

down on each other. The sediments then start to go

through compaction and sedimentation which for a

sedimentary rock.

Metamorphic rocks form under heat and pressure.

They are squeezed and shaped and go through

metamorphosis or go through change. A

metamorphic rock can be formed from any other type

of rock as long as it goes through changes due to

intense pressure and/or heat.
