Metamorphic Sedimentary Figure 1 The rocks of the Earth are always in a constant state of change. Igneous. Igneous rocks put simply are cooled molten rock. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earths surface and due to the magmas slow cooling, intrusive igneous rocks form and are characterized by large crystals due to extended cooling time.

Hornfels is a metamorphic rock formed by the contact between mudstone shale, or other clay-rich rock, and a hot igneous body, and represents a heat-altered equivalent of the original rock. This process is termed contact metamorphism.

Metamorphic rocks form when a preexisting rock protolith is transformed into a different rock due to pressure, heat, or chemical alteration.Tectonics and burial can supply pressure and heat on a wide scale regional metamorphism, while igneous intrusions can bake adjacent rocks contact metamorphism.Hydrothermal fluids power chemical alteration.

Tuff rock. Tuff rock. Tuff from the Italian tufo is a type of rock made of volcanic ash ejected from a vent during a volcanic eruption.Following ejection and deposition, the ash is compacted into a solid rock in a process called consolidation. Tuff is sometimes called tufa, particularly when used as construction material, although tufa also refers to a quite different rock.
