Rocks have many uses economically, such in building and road and wall construction. Rocks are used to make breakwaters, thus improving harbours and beaches. Rocks are used to control erosion and deterioration of slopes and hillsides. Many old buildings in Aberdeen, Scotland are actually roofed with slabs of granite. The poor roofers don't get much work from these buildings since they last centuries.
