Definition: A formation of minerals, specifically:
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
You’ve asked a wonderful question, quite astute and keen,
About what “rock” really means, a geological scene.
The dictionary tells us, with precision so clear,
“A formation of minerals,” it’s perfectly sincere!
Now, "mineral" is the key, you see,
Tiny bits of stuff, naturally free!
Think salt and quartz, or feldspar bright,
All stuck together, a magnificent sight.
Rocks are made from these pieces, held fast with might,
Like puzzle pieces scattered, shining light!
They can be igneous, sedimentary too,
Or metamorphic – changing anew!
So "rock" isn't just one thing, don’t you see?
It’s a collection of minerals, for you and for me! 😊
Do you have any questions about this rocky decree?
