• magma

• sediments

• sedimentary rock

• intrusive igneous

It is formed by melting.

• magma

• sediments

• sedimentary rock

• intrusive igneous

Has large crystals because of slow cooling

• sedimentary rock
• metamorphic rock
• intrusive igneous rock
• extrusive igneous rock

Has small or no crystals because of rapid cooling

• sedimentary
• metamorphic
• extrusive igneous
• intrusive igneous

Sometimes the heat just changes the size of the mineral crystals in this type of rock.
