minerals
The majority of rocks are composed of a variety of minerals. Monomineralic rocks are rare.

Rocks are not elements. They are composed of one or more minerals in a conglomerated or aggregated fashion, and are formed through several different geological processes. Some minerals are elements, however, but these are usually rare.
Rocks.
Rocks are composed of differing combinations of thousands of naturally occurring minerals--or pieces of other rock particles cemented together--or in some cases, lithified organic matter.All rocks are composed of some form of minerals. The exact type of rock and their specific appearance is determined by the elements that are combined with these minerals.
Rocks are composed of minerals which are composed of elements.
Rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are composed of elements.
Rocks are composed of minerals. For example, granite is an igneous rock primarily made up of the minerals feldspar, quartz, and mica.
No, minerals are not rocks. Minerals are one or more elements stacked together which forms a crystal structure. A rock is composed of one or more minerals.
Rocks are not minerals. They are composed on one or more minerals. For example granite is composed primarily of the minerals quartz, potassium feldspar, and albite. There are some rocks, however, that are composed of substances that aren't minerals. Examples include coal, which is mostly organic, and glassy rocks such as obsidian, pumice, and some varieties of tuff.
No. But rocks are composed of minerals.
No, oceanic lithosphere contains more mafic rocks compared to continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is mainly composed of basalt, which is a mafic rock, whereas continental lithosphere is composed of a variety of rock types, including granitic rocks which are more felsic in composition.
