A rock is an agglomeration of different minerals.
Minerals are classified into categories based on their chemistry: oxides, sulphides, silicates, carbonates etc. Rocks are classified primarily by the process that formed them: igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
monomineralic - one mineral polymineralic - multiple minerals
foliated metamorphic rocks. The alternating layers are caused by the alignment and segregation of minerals during the metamorphic process, resulting in a banded or layered appearance. Examples of foliated metamorphic rocks include gneiss, schist, and slate.
Rocks. Rocks are made of minerals.
the minerals are in the rocks

A rock is made of 2 or more minerals, minerals make up rocks but rocks cannot make up minerals.
Rocks and minerals are only related of that multiple minerals form rocks. Other than that, they aren't related at all.rocks are made of mineralsAll rocks are made of minerals!!!!!Rocks are composed of one or more minerals.
rocks are made of minerals
Rocks are composed of one or more minerals.
See the related question.
classic rocks are not minerals. limestone is
All rocks are composed of combinations of minerals by definition. Sedimentary rocks can be composed of many different minerals and therefore cannot be classified as a specific mineral. Rocks are the source of most minerals for human use, but they must be separated from the other minerals in the rock.
Someone said, "No. Most minerals have a variety of different colors." but that isn't true. Minerals and rocks can be classified by color, streak, luster, cleavage, hardness, and specific gravity. Hope this helps! By: Fizzycandy10
A rock's mineral composition is a determining factor in rock identification.
yes
Minerals are solid, naturally occurring inorganic matter, with a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. Rocks are composed of minerals.
