Igneous rocks are created from the cooling and hardening of magma. Metamorphic rocks are formed by existing rocks being subjected to heat or pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the breaking up of other rocks into small particles, and then being deposited and later lithifying (hardening into rocks).gneous rocks are created from the cooling and hardening of magma.

Most sedimentary rocks contain either quartz (especially siliciclastic rocks) or calcite (especially carbonate rocks). In contrast to igneous and metamorphic rocks, a sedimentary rock usually contains very few different major minerals.inerals in a sedimentary rock can have formed by precipitation during sedimentation or by diagenesis. In the second case, the mineral precipitate can have grown over an older generation of cement. A complex diagenetic history can be studied by optical mineralogy, using a petrographic microscope.
