Understanding Rocks and Minerals: Types, Formation, and Characteristics

Chapter 8 delves into the fascinating world of rocks and minerals, highlighting how rocks are composed of multiple minerals and can take eons to form. The chapter categorizes rocks into three main types based on their formation process: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks originate from the cooling and solidification of molten material, while sedimentary rocks are created from the accumulation of sediment. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, arise from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and pressure. Explore these classifications and gain insight into the geological processes that shape our planet.
