What is solid rocks?
Solid rocks are compacted and hard materials composed of minerals and other substances. They are formed through the process of lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of loose sediments or the recrystallization of existing rocks. Solid rocks make up the majority of the Earth's crust and can be classified into three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

The three main nitrogenous wastes are ammonia, uric acid and urea.
How is identifying rocks different from identifying the minerals that compose rocks?
One of the main methods of identifying rocks is by their method of formation. Igneous rock from melt; metamorphic rock from heat/pressure;sedimentary rock from lithification of sediment or precipitation. Then add in the myriad of possible combinations and percentages of minerals that may comprise the rock, and sometimes the identification of a rock can be a daunting task. Minerals are identified by their chemical composition, their crystalline structure, their specific gravity, hardness, streak, and other physical properties.

This sedimentary rock comes from plants or living organisms which helps to build tissue.
Which kinds of rocks and minerals are found in the great pyramid?

What are the two chemicals that bounds or cement sediment as rocks?
There are more than two. The three main minerals that act as cement in forming sedimentary rock are clay minerals, quartz (silicon dioxide) and calcite (calcium carbonate).
What are the two main ways that minerals are put together in rock?
The two main ways minerals are put together in rock are crystalline and clastic. The crystalline process gives rocks the characteristic and structure of crystals. Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock.

Which silicate minerals the the main component of most rocks on Earth's surface?
oxygen and aluminum
