Why are rocks and minerals mined from the ground?
All minerals are made of small particles called atoms. Some minerals are formed from magma. These minerals are igneous rocks. Over millions of years, igneous rocks form sedimentary rocks.The Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock. In general rocks are of three types, namely, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. The scientific study of rocks is called petrology, and petrology is an essential component of geology.The rocks are formed by minerals which bonds together due to the high pressure inside the earth's surface.they form a layer under the surface.so to obtain them we are mining!
