Minerals are pure crystallized compounds. A rock can be a collection of minerals. For example the rock granite is composed of the minerals mica and feldspar. It is all a matter of definitions.

In truth geothermal forces are responsible for both minerals and rocks. Minerals are not responsible for rock, the term is merely descriptive.
