All types of rocks undergo formation and transformation process. Formation of rocks depends on cooling of lava and then transformation process takes place. Every rock has an individual property due to which it has its own unique uses. Rock Texture. Rock texture refers to shape, arrangement and distribution of grains within the rock.

Occurrence of igneous rocks can be either intrusive (plutonic) or extrusive (volcanic). Intrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of a planet, surrounded by way of pre-present rock (called us of a rock); the magma cools slowly and, as a …

Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air, or by precipitation of minerals from water. They accumulate in layers. Metamorphic rocks result when existing rocks are changed by heat, pressure, or reactive fluids, such as hot, mineral-laden water. Most rocks are made of minerals containing silicon ...

So, all metamorphic processes involve solid-state changes in the minerals. As per Wikipedia, ""Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form"".

Minerals form under an enormous range of geologic conditions. There are probably more ways to form minerals than there are types of minerals themselves. Minerals can form from volcanic gases, sediment formation, oxidation, crystallization from magma, or deposition from a saline fluid, to list a few. Some of these methods of mineral formation ...

Reading: Classes of Minerals. Minerals are classified according to their chemical properties. Except for the native element class, the chemical basis for classifying minerals is the anion, the negatively charged ion that usually shows up at the end of the chemical formula of the mineral.

Formation of Soils: The interior of the earth is in molten state, called magma. Rocks are formed due to cooling of molten magma and these rocks being broken down in soil and soil being converted back in rock. This cycle is called geological cycle as shown in figure 1.1. Rocks are the parent material for soils.

The mineral extraction process begins with finding the location of mineral deposits. Remote sensors that use satellite images and geochemical surveys are just two ways that minerals can be located. Many minerals are then removed through mining or quarrying. However, liquid minerals, such as oil or gas, may be extracted by pumping.

All rocks are composed of minerals, and each mineral is only stable over a particular range of temperatures and pressures. Outwith that range it will tend to break down or combine with a neighbouring mineral to form a new mineral.
