The rock cycle describes the processes through which rocks transform from one type to another, and there are three main types of rocks that can form as a result:
1. **Igneous Rocks** - Formed from the solidification of molten magma or lava.
2. **Sedimentary Rocks** - Formed from the accumulation and compaction of mineral and organic particles.
3. **Metamorphic Rocks** - Formed from the alteration of existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) due to heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids.
So, the correct answer is **3** types of rocks.
1. **Igneous Rocks** - Formed from the solidification of molten magma or lava.
