Geology is the study of rocks and minerals. The study of rocks of minerals can help miners to learn where the rocks they are looking for can be found. The study of rocks and the formation of the rocks can also tell people about the way that the land was formed. Geologists can tell a lot about what happened by studying the layers of rock that make up the earth’s crust. There are three different types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

Minerals are different from rocks because they are a specific chemical composition. Rocks can have several different minerals inside of them. Minerals follow specific atomic structures and have distinctive properties that depend on the type of mineral that you find. Common minerals are salts, coal, gold, and mica.
