The series of processes on the surface, and inside the Earth, that slowly change rocks from one type to another. What are the 3 types of rocks? Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary What are igneous rocks?

Extrusive: hardened at the Earth’s surface. Igneous Rock : A type of rock that forms from the cooling of molten rock at, or below the Earth’s surface. There are two groups: Extrusive: hardened at the Earth’s surface. Intrusive: hardened below the Earth’s surface.
