Kivilajiryhmien
Kivilajiryhmien, which translates to "rock type groups" in Finnish, is a classification system used in geology to categorize rocks based on their origin and formation. This system divides all rocks into three main categories: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of mineral and organic particles, or by
Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks, whether igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks, are transformed
The kivilajiryhmien classification is fundamental to understanding Earth's geological history, the processes that shape the planet,
