Step-by-step explanation:

Lava Cools on the side of a volcano

Storms erode the hardened lava

Particles of hardened water settle at the bottom of lakes

Layers of sediments bond underwater

Plate movement bakes sedimentary layers.

Since the transition is from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic rocks;

  • Lava which is magma or molten rock that reaches the surface cools and solidifies to form a volcano.
  • Weathering and erosion of the volcano then proceeds and sediments are formed
  • The sediments are further carried underwater where they harden at bottom of lakes.
  • Layers of the sediments bond and cements together underwater to form sedimentary rocks.
  • Tectonic activities further bakes the layers to form metamorphic rocks.
