At a granular level‚ rocks are composed of grains of minerals‚ which‚ in turn‚ are homogeneous solids formed from a chemical compound that is arranged in an orderly manner. The aggregate minerals forming the rock are held together by chemical bonds. The types and abundance of minerals in a rock are determined by the manner in which the rock was formed.

The rock cycle is very important to us because it explains the way the different types of rocks are formed on earth.
