No, rocks and minerals do not typically consist of organic compounds. Rocks are composed of different combinations of minerals, which are inorganic substances. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are compounds that contain carbon and are typically derived from living organisms.

Inorganic compounds which are found in the earth are called?
Rocks and minerals
What planet is made up of minerals organic minerals and water?
As far as we know, Earth.
Why are carbon compounds classified as organic compounds?
Many "organic" compounds are created by living tissue, and living things (on Earth, at any rate) always are based on carbon.
Organic compounds will not form in the Miller-Urey apparatus if O2 is present Why is this not?
because oxygen was not present in the early earth.
Is minerals an organic nutrient?
Minerals can appear in both organic and inorganic form. Minerals mined and extracted from the earth are typically inorganic salts (you can have organic salts), crystals or amorphous matter not containing combined carbon. Carbon by itself is 'mineral' for example diamond, graphite, or charcoal are inorganic (not organic) forms of carbon. Growing things and carbonaceous chemicals are considered organic. If the minerals are extracted from a plant source and they are considered organic. Organic minerals can also be made by attaching the inorganic mineral to a piece of a plant structure, the most common form being amino acid chelation. An example of this is magnesium amino acid chelate, a type of organic magnesium often found in high quality nutritional supplements.

Fossil fuels are organic compounds that are made from?
Fossil fuels are organic compounds that are made from concentrated elements found in the Earth's crust. These organic compounds include petroleum oil, coal, and natural gas.
What is covalent compounds used for?
Organic compounds have covalent bonds, and these compounds are the basis of life on Earth; the human body is composed of them.
What are two possible sources of simple organic compounds on the earth?
Carbon and Nitrogen were most likely the the first two possible sources of simple organic compounds on earth as a result of exploding stars.
