Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Extrusive, or volcanic, igneous rocks are formed when molten hot material cools and solidifies. There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Each of these rocks are formed by physical changes-such as melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming-that are part of the rock cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Several processes can turn one type of rock into another type of rock. The key processes of the rock cycle are crystallization, erosion and sedimentation, and metamorphism.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rock cycle describes the processes through which the three main rock types (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) transform from one type into another.
