What are the three groups of rocks on the basis of their origin? What were the geologic processes
involved in the formation of each group?
please answer me quick I'll mark u brainliest don't give me wrong❌ answer otherwise I will report it

Explanation:
The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation.
Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle.
Answer:
The three groups of rocks are:-
Igneous rocks
sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks
Igneous rocks form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
