Igneous
Formed by magma from the molten inside part of the earth. When magma erupts it cools to form volcanic landforms.
Sedimentary
Formed from sediments that have settled at the bottom of a lake, sea or ocean, and have been compressed over millions of years
Metamorphic
Have been subjected to tremendous heat and/or pressure causing them to change into another type of rock. Usually resistant to weathering and erosion - therefore hard-wearing
