Answer

Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are the three different types of rock.

Molten rock (lava or magma) cools and solidifies to form

igneous rocks. Particles that settle out of water or the

atmosphere or minerals that precipitate from water are

the sources of sedimentary rocks.

They gather in layers.
