This document provides information about classifying rocks into three main categories:
1) Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
2) Sedimentary rocks form from the compaction and cementation of sediments.
3) Metamorphic rocks form from other pre-existing rocks that are exposed to extreme heat and pressure, undergoing metamorphism.
Rocks can change categories through the rock cycle as they are transformed by geological processes.
