    There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when magma cools and crystallizes, sedimentary rocks form by the compaction and cementation of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks that are changed by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions within the earth.
