Rock is generally much denser than wood. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, and rocks typically have a higher mass packed into a given volume compared to wood. While there are variations in both materials, common types of rock like granite or basalt have densities ranging from 2.5 to 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter, whereas most types of wood range from 0.3 to 1.0 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore, rock is significantly denser than wood.
