Rubbing of every two rocks doesn't create fire... those are special type of rocks...perhaps having some amount of phosphorus in them... when they are rubbed...friction causes heating which causes them to initiate sparks
According to an IVillage expert, you should use volcanic rocks if available. Why? Because rocks from a stream or other water source tends to be wet and when they are lighted on fire they have been known to cause serious injury because they have been shown to explode. But not volcanic rock because it tends to be dry regardless of the conditions. Hope this helps.
Rocks are held together by the intergrowth of crystals in igneous and metamorphic rock, or by the cementation of sedimentary particles by a variety of possible minerals like calcite and quartz, in the lithification process leading to sedimentary rock formation.
While rocks are not flammable, extreme heat can cause certain rocks to melt or crack due to thermal expansion. However, rocks do not undergo combustion or burn in the same way that organic materials do.
Static electricity occurs when positive and negative charges build up on the surface of an object. It can be generated by friction between two objects or by separating and rejoining charges. Static electricity can cause objects to stick together or repel each other. It can also cause sparks or shocks when discharged. Some common examples of static electricity include rubbing a balloon on your hair to make it stick and lightning during a storm.
Minerals make up various types of rocks, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form through the alteration of existing rocks under high temperature and pressure.
Rubbing two rocks together
The grinding of two rocks together
When you glide 2 rocks together they create whitish yellow spark
Flints have been found in their caves. Therefore, they most likely struck two rocks together to make sparks.
Cavemen made fire by rubbing two sticks together or using flint to create sparks that ignited dry grass or wood.
Creating sparks with flint rocks
Yes, they used fire. Flints have been found in their caves, meaning they struck two rocks together to make sparks.
rub two rocks together so it makes sparks, put it over things that are easy to catch fire; e.g -straw etc.

Rubbing your hands together generates friction, which creates heat. This can be useful for warming up your hands on a cold day.
