The term "primitive" is often used to describe rocks that are in their original, unaltered state and have not undergone metamorphism or significant chemical changes due to heat or pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and consolidation of sediments, while lava and igneous rocks are formed from volcanic activity. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, are rocks that have undergone significant transformation through heat, pressure, or chemical processes.
