    The document describes the rock cycle. It includes the three main types of rocks - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks such as granite and basalt are formed by the cooling and crystallization of magma and lava. Sedimentary rocks like sandstone and shale form through the compaction and cementation of sediments. Metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and marble form from existing rocks through heat and pressure. Rocks are constantly being transformed between these three types through geological processes of melting, cooling, weathering, erosion, and burial.
