How is a mineral different from a rock?

Answer 1

A rock is a solid object made up of many minerals. If you imagine a Pizza for a moment...the pizza is a rock. It is made up of different things, like cheese, and pepperoni, and sauce, and crust. The toppings are like minerals. Cheese alone is not a pizza. This is similar to a rock, where one mineral does not make up a rock.
