ocks are naturally occurring solid substances composed of one or more minerals, organic materials, or other materials. They are classified based on their composition, texture, and origin. The three main types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
Igneous rocks form from cooled and solidified magma or lava. They can be further classified as intrusive or extrusive, depending on whether they formed underground or at the surface.
Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediment, which can include rocks, minerals, and organic materials. They can be further classified as clastic, chemical, or organic, depending on how they formed.
Metamorphic rocks form from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat, pressure, or chemical changes. They can be further classified as foliated or non-foliated, depending on the presence or absence of layers.
Rocks play an important role in the Earth’s geology and can provide valuable information about the planet’s history and composition. They are also used for a variety of purposes, such as building materials, gemstones, and industrial minerals.
