Abstract

Complexity of Geological Rocks: A Comprehensive Overview

Myrna Dalla

Geological rocks are the fundamental building blocks of the Earth's crust, representing a diverse array of materials formed through various geological processes over millions of years. From the towering mountains to the smallest pebbles on a riverbank, rocks are integral to understanding the Earth's history, processes, and dynamics [1]. In this comprehensive exploration, we probe into the complexities of geological rocks, their classification, formation, and significance in shaping the landscapes we inhabit. Geological rocks are naturally occurring aggregates of minerals or mineraloids, each possessing unique characteristics that reflect its origin and history. Rocks are classified based on their mineral composition, texture, and mode of formation, providing insights into the geological processes that shaped them. Understanding the properties and classifications of rocks is essential for deciphering the geological history of an area, identifying mineral resources, and interpreting past environmental conditions [2].
