Question
the rock above most likely formed due to heat and pressure hardening of magma or lava minerals precipitating out of solution compaction or cementation
Rocks can form in different ways. Heat and pressure form metamorphic rocks. Hardening of magma or lava forms igneous rocks. Minerals precipitating out of solution and compaction/cementation form sedimentary rocks. Without more details about the rock's texture, mineral - composition etc., it's difficult to be certain, but if it's a non - layered rock with visible crystals, it could be igneous (formed from hardening of magma or lava).
