Igneous rocks
Deep inside the Earth it is hot enough to melt rock. When this melted rock cools, it turns solid again and makes igneous rock. Some comes out of volcanoes and cools fast, like dark basalt and light, holey pumice; some cools slowly underground and grows big grains, like granite. Mount Damavand is a volcano, quiet now.
