Rocks are solid aggregates composed of one or more minerals or mineraloids. They are classified into three main types: igneous, formed from cooled magma or lava; sedimentary, created from the accumulation of mineral and organic particles; and metamorphic, which arise from the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure. Each type provides insights into Earth's history, geological processes, and the environments in which they formed. Additionally, rocks play a crucial role in various ecosystems and human activities, including construction and resource extraction.
