Understanding Earth's Rocks: Formation, Classification, and Forces Shaping the Surface

This chapter explores the various ways humans utilize rocks, the forces that shape Earth's surface, and the processes involved in rock formation and metamorphism. We'll examine the classification of rocks, different types of sedimentary rocks, and how temperature and pressure affect rock minerals. Additionally, we delve into the layers found in sedimentary rocks and how new rocks form from old ones. Gain a comprehensive understanding of geology and the natural processes that shape the planet.
