Rocks

Rocks are naturally occurring solids made up of minerals that form the Earth's crust. There are three main types of rocks: igneous rocks form when magma cools, sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments over time, and metamorphic rocks form through the alteration of existing rocks by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions in the Earth's crust. Rocks have been used by humans for millions of years for purposes like tools, weapons, and construction materials.
