Rocks are solid substainces that are made of 2 or more minerals and can have organic matter in them as well. On the other hand, minerals are naturally formed inorganic solids that have definite crystalline structures.
Rocks and minerals are made through different processes.

Rocks and minerals are made through different processes.
Rocks can be broken down and minerals cannot. Also, minerals are what is in a orkc.
A mineral is a solid that occurs naturally in the Earth. A rock is a solid combination of minerals which also occurs naturally.
Most rocks are made of minerals.
A geologist studies rocks, minerals, and physical structure of a particular area. A gemologist studies gems and gemstones.
The process of cementation binds minerals together to form rocks. It occurs when dissolved minerals fill in the spaces between the sediment particles.
Rocks are composed of one or more minerals.
Rocks are normally combinations of different minerals.
classic rocks are not minerals. limestone is
monomineralic - one mineral polymineralic - multiple minerals
Minerals have an unique chemical composition, and Rocks are made up of two or more minerals.
A rock is made of 2 or more minerals, minerals make up rocks but rocks cannot make up minerals.
Most rocks are made of minerals.
Table salt, or just salt, NaCl, is a mineral. It is usually referred by geologists as the mineral halite. The difference between rocks in minerals is that rocks are made of combinations of minerals, and not the other way around. A classic way to think of this is minerals being "letters", and rocks being "words".
A mineral is the basic building block of which all rocks are composed. Consider them to be the ingredients of a cake: the minerals being the flour, eggs and sugar etc. and the rock being an aggregate (collection/formation) of those minerals.
Minerals are solid homogeneous inorganic substances having a specific chemical composition that can be represented by a chemical formula. They are different from rocks, which can be a mixture of minerals and non-minerals and do not have a specific chemical composition.
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.

Rocks are composed of minerals. For example, granite is an igneous rock primarily made up of the minerals feldspar, quartz, and mica.
