    Igneous rocks are found on the ocean floors and in mountain ranges where volcanic activity occurs due to magma and lava cooling and hardening. Sedimentary rocks are located in areas covered by seas in the past like plains and shallow ocean areas due to layers of sediment compressing together over time. Metamorphic rocks form in areas subjected to heat and pressure within the crust like in locations near tectonic plate boundaries due to intense pressure and heat altering existing rock types.
