Answer:

Igneous- relating to, resulting from, or suggestive of the intrusion or extrusion of magma or volcanic activity

metamorphic- describes a specific process that some rocks undergo when heat and pressure changes them.

extrusive- rock refers to the mode of igneous volcanic rock formation in which hot magma from inside the Earth flows out (extrudes) onto the surface as lava or explodes violently into the atmosphere to fall back as pyroclastics or tuff.
