Igneous rocks form when molten rock magma or lava cools and solidifies Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air or by precipitation of minerals from water They accumulate in layers Metamorphic rocks result when existing rocks are changed by heat pressure or reactive fluids such as hot mineral laden water Most rocks are made of minerals containing silicon
