Study Notes
- Rocks are natural aggregates of minerals.
- Their nature depends on both their origin and the physical-environmental conditions they are in.
- Petrology studies their formation, while petrography describes them.
- Rocks cannot be expressed or defined by formulas as they are composed of multiple minerals.
- Igneous rocks form when magma cools in the Earth's crust or lava cools on the surface.
- Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are subjected to high pressures and temperatures.
- Sedimentary rocks are formed from the diagenesis or lithification of sediments.
- Rocks are classified based on their mineral and chemical composition, particle consistency, and size.
- The extraction of rocks and minerals has been done since prehistoric times and is necessary for obtaining materials that cannot be grown or artificially created.
- The use of rocks has had a significant impact on human cultural and technological development, from the use of stone tools to modern industrial applications.
