Rocks
Rocks are naturally occurring solid masses of mineral material that have been formed over millions of years through various geological processes, including Plate Tectonics, Weathering, and Erosion. The study of rocks is a fundamental aspect of Geology, which helps us understand the Earth's history, composition, and structure. Rocks can be classified into three main types: Igneous Rocks, Sedimentary Rocks, and Metamorphic Rocks, each with its unique characteristics and formation processes. The composition and properties of rocks are also closely related to Mineralogy and Petrology. Rocks play a crucial role in shaping our environment and have been a vital part of human development, from providing Building Materials to influencing Land formation and Hydrologists' understanding of water cycles.
