This document discusses the rock cycle and different types of rocks. It defines rocks as hard masses of stone and describes the three main types as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from magma and include intrusive rocks like granite and extrusive rocks like basalt. Sedimentary rocks form through compaction and cementation of sediments. Metamorphic rocks are formed from heating or squeezing of igneous and sedimentary rocks, changing their form, for example limestone transforming to marble. The document concludes by introducing the rock cycle by which rocks continuously change between these three types over geological time.
