Answer:
1)Minerals are solid substances that are present in nature and can be made of one element or more elements combined together (chemical compounds). ... Atoms, ions and molecules that form a mineral are present in the space in a tidy way and according to well-defined geometrical shapes, which are called crystal lattices.
2)Petrology, scientific study of rocks that deals with their composition, texture, and structure; their occurrence and distribution; and their origin in relation to physicochemical conditions and geologic processes. It is concerned with all three major types of rocks—igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
3)Rocks do not have a definite chemical composition whereas minerals do. ... A mineral, on the other hand, will never have any organic material present within it. Rocks do not have a definite shape whereas minerals will usually have one. Rocks are classified as igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
4)Four of these elements—oxygen (O), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (N)—make up about 96 percent of the living matter in your body.
5)It is said that rock cycle has neither a beginning nor an end because : the three types of rocks igneous , metamorphic and sedimentary change from one to another , this process does not end . for ex:an igneous rock undergoes weathering and soil erosion and turns into a sedimentary rock .
