The rocks that make up the Earth were formed over billions of years from different processes. They weren't all in one state at any particular point in time.

Here's why:

* Formation of the Earth: The Earth itself formed from a swirling cloud of gas and dust.

* Early Earth: The Earth was incredibly hot and molten in the early days.

* Cooling and Formation of Rocks: Over time, the Earth cooled, and the first rocks began to form through various processes like volcanic eruptions and solidification of magma.

* Continual Change: Rocks are constantly being formed, broken down, and reformed through the rock cycle.

So, the rocks in the world didn't exist in one state before they were formed. They were part of the Earth's early, molten state, and then evolved over time to become the diverse rock types we see today.
