A MINERAL is: a chemical compound which is inorganic, or not
alive.
A ROCK is: made up of 1 or more minerals that are naturally
occuring.
SEDIMENTARY rocks are formed when sediments build up on top of each other and cemented together.
IGNEOUS rocks are formed when magma cools and crystalizes
or when magma comes out of a volcano & cools on earth.
METAMORPHIC rocks are formed when heat and pressure change
rocks into a new type of rock.
