A crystalline rock is composed of all the same mineral.
How do minerals become rocks?
- These fragments are separated from their source through erosion and carried to a different area by wind, water, ice, or biological activity.
- Once enough sediment has accumulated in one place and settled there, the lowest layers are so firmly packed that solid rock is formed.
What minerals make up rocks?
- The majority of rocks are made up of about 200 minerals. The most prevalent mineral family is that of feldspar. Other typical minerals include quartz, calcite, and clay.
- Some minerals, such as olivine, feldspars, pyroxenes, and micas, are more prevalent in igneous rock (produced under intense heat and pressure).
