The minerals are made up of various atoms which are joined by strong chemical bonds in a very disciplined manner. Now at a particular pressure and temperature atoms joined together to form a particular mineral which is stable at that pressure-temperature. Rock is an aggregate of various minerals e.g. granite has orthoclase feldsper,quartz,small amount of mica etc. in a particular texture which together helps to stabilize the whole system in normal pressure-temperature.

The rock and mineral fragments in soil come from rock that has been?
The rock and mineral fragments in soil come from the breakdown of parent rock through processes like weathering and erosion. Over time, physical, chemical, and biological factors contribute to the decomposition of rocks into smaller fragments that make up soil.
What is the difference between monomineralic rocks and polymineralic rocks?
Monomineralic rocks are composed of only one mineral, while polymineralic rocks are composed of multiple minerals. Monomineralic rocks are typically formed from the crystallization of a single mineral, whereas polymineralic rocks may form from the cooling and solidification of a mixture of minerals.
