Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth's surface.

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.

If the newly formed metamorphic rock continues to heat, it can eventually melt and become molten. When the molten rocks cools, it forms an igneous rocks.

Heat and pressure change sedimentary or igneous rocks into new forms. These new forms are different from the original igneous rocks and are called metaphoric rocks. It is even possible for existing metamorphic rocks to under go further metamorphism that turns them into higher grade metamorphic rocks.

When a sedimentary rock goes deep underground, it experiences heat and pressure. This distorts the rock and turns it into a metamorphic rock.

At the surface, metamorphic rocks will be exposed to weathering processes and may break down into sediment. These sediments could then be compressed to form sedimentary rocks, which would start the entire cycle anew.

If a sedimentary rock is subjected to intense heat it will melt. Once it rises up and cools down, it will form an igneous rock.

Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks by weathering, erosion, deposition, and compaction. Igneous rock at Earth's surface breaks down into sediments by weathering. Erosion carries the sediments and deposits them in layers. Over time, these layers become buried and compacted to form sedimentary rock.
