These Rocks are formed from Magma and Lava

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

These Rocks are formed from Heat and Pressure

• Sedimentary

These Rocks are form from layers of sediment over Millions of years

• Sedimentary

Igneous rocks may become a ​ (a)   rock if they're subjected to large amounts of heat and pressure. The same igneous rock may become a ​ (b)   rock if broken down into ​ (c)   through the process of erosion and later deposition, compaction, cementation. Any type of rock may become ​ (d)   if it becomes ​ (e)   to the point of turning into magma and later re-crystalizing.
