Igneous - is found deep inside the Earth, where it's hot, it's hot enough to melt rock. After a while it cools down. As it cools it forms igneous rock. Igneous contains randomly interlocking crystals. Igneous rocks like basalt and granite non-porous and so very hard and tough.
Metamorphic Rock - the temperature for metamorphic rock is hot enough to mold rock under pressure, but not enough to melt it. The difference for metamorphic rock is that the crystals are arranged in layers. That's due to the high pressure. Slate is metamorphic rock formed from shale, and marble is metamorphic rock formed from limestone.
